Megan O’Boyle

Megan joined Taylor Hampton as a paralegal in March 2015 and started her training contract in January 2016.

Since joining the firm, Megan has gained significant experience within a variety of areas including defamation, breach of confidence, privacy, phone hacking, copyright and commercial litigation.

Throughout her training contract, she has gained familiarity with a wide-ranging spectrum of litigation, having been involved in everything from Alternative Dispute Resolution to emergency interim injunctions freezing orders.

In addition, Megan has become familiar with various enforcement procedures, recourse to which is necessary where an opponent refuses to pay a judgment debt.

Megan has taken a particular interest in data protection and its potential use in a media law context.

Megan graduated from the University of Leeds in 2014 with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) (Hons) degree before going on to study the LPC at BPP Law School in London.

Megan’s biggest recent case is Bruno Lachaux v Independent Print Ltd, Evening Standard Ltd and AOL (UK) Ltd [2015] EWHC 3677 (QB). She has assisted Daniel Taylor with the day-to-day conduct of this ongoing case since her arrival at Taylor Hampton.

This is now the landmark case in relation to the requirement for “serious harm” to an individual’s reputation under section 1 of the Defamation Act 2013.

The Defendants appealed the decision of the High Court Judge which found in our client’s favour. We are currently awaiting the Court of Appeal’s reserved judgment.

Burrell v Clifford [2016] EWHC 294 (Ch)

“

Please accept my sincerest thanks for the way you have handled the matter. I am so glad I had you as a team to represent me and I have no doubt you are the reason I felt it was worth taking on such big corporations, when actually it frightened the life out of me. You have made the process stress free (almost), and I am fortunate that a random google search led me to you.
