Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) corporate and commercial disputes partner Graham Shear has launched a claim against the News of the World (NoW) for phone-hacking.
Shear (pictured) has appointed fellow BLP commercial litigator Joby Davies to advise him on the breach of privacy claim against NoW, as well as Matrix Chambers' Hugh Tomlinson QC and David Sherborne of 5RB.
He launched the claim in April this year after being contacted by the Metropolitan Police in January about information found about him in the files of former NoW private investigator Glenn Mulcaire. Mulcaire was jailed in 2007 alongside former NoW royal editor Clive Goodman for hacking into the mobile phones of royal aides.
