Have you ever encountered someone making false or misleading comments about you or your company?
Here are the 5 steps that you should take:
- If the comments were made on social media (Facebook/Instagram/Google Review, etc), do take a screenshot of the post and the comments;
- Identify the accuracy of the comments and highlight which part of them are false/inaccurate;
- Analyse the impact of those comments on your personal reputation or company’s trading position;
- Seek legal consultation and instruct your lawyer to issue a notice of demand;
- Depending on the response of the maker of the comments, consider filing a civil action to seek damages.
