Adam Tudor

source: mccannfiles.comAdam Tudor joined Carter-Ruck in 2001 and became a Partner in 2003. He specialises in media litigation and reputation management, and is also spearheading the firm's commercial litigation practice. His clients range from multi-national corporations and leading business people, to a number of national governments and heads of state, as well as other high-profile politicians and celebrities.

…Adam has conducted appeals for corporate clients in the House of Lords (now the Supreme Court) and Privy Council. In libel circles, Adam is best known for representing Kate and Gerry McCann in their libel and privacy complaints. In 2008, he secured unprecedented front page apologies from the Daily Express, Daily Star and their sister Sunday titles, as well as £550,000 in damages for libel. Adam also obtained apologies and £375,000 in libel damages from the Express group for the seven friends who were dining with the McCanns on the night Madeleine was abducted. All the damages in these cases were applied to the search for Madeleine. During 2011 Adam has been advising Mr and Mrs McCann in relation to their evidence before the Leveson Inquiry.

…Adam's first major libel victory was in 2001, when, at his previous firm, he represented Alan (now Lord) Sugar in his successful libel action against the Daily Mail, which resulted in a jury awarding damages of £100,000, the highest jury award that year. Adam has regularly lectured to the profession and made a number of television and radio appearances, including on Radio 4's “Unreliable Evidence”. He has also been named →"Lawyer of the Week" in The Times newspaper. Adam was invited to give evidence at the House of Commons before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee in its inquiry into press standards, privacy and libel.
