Described as ‘the most powerful

In this engrossing book, internationally renowned libel lawyer
Paul Tweed lays bare the reality of representing the world’s biggest names.
During his four-decade career, he has successfully represented scores of
A-list celebrities, members of the British Royal Family and numerous global
entrepreneurs, with many media giants being forced to withdraw stories,
issue apologies or make substantial payouts.
From fighting for the beleaguered Britney Spears, to advising
Prince Andrew against his controversial Newsnight interview,
Tweed has seen it all. Here, he thrusts the reader into the centre of some
of the most incendiary, high-profile defamation lawsuits of his career.
From Holywood to Hollywoodis a riveting glimpse behind
the scenes of a high-octane career navigating huge egos and high stakes to
protect the reputations of the most visible and sometimes most vulnerable
stars on earth.

later, he expressed astonishment and pleasure at the media coverage,
which confirmed my opinion that he had not initially grasped the
purpose of my strategy. In any event, he had some reprieve for several
weeks, even if it was only temporary, from the more aggressive media
headlines – at least until that disastrous Newsnight interview in
November 2019...'
