Online Content Removal Experts
Defamation | Harassment | Untrue Reviews | Privacy Breaches
Welcome to PAIL® Solicitors, where empowering and protecting individuals and businesses from defamation, harassment, cyber-mobbing, or trolling quickly and successfully is our utmost priority across the globe.
Online content removal is a complex and often lengthy process. Attempting to remove content on a low budget is like trying to empty the ocean with a bucket. In cases where the parties responsible for the content are anonymous, along with other challenges such as jurisdictional issues, removing content becomes a significant task that demands resources, expertise, time, and effort. Any process involving court proceedings can be costly. It’s advisable to seek an initial assessment of your chances of success before entering into legal proceedings. The cost of this opinion could save you from incurring substantial wasted expenses later on.
DELETE THIS, MANAGE THAT! – How Do You PROTECT YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT?
We undertake the removal of all online libellous, malicious falsehood and otherwise unlawful content from a single website for a fixed fee quotation as follows:
removing articles from social media online
stopping cyberbullying and online harassment Including taking down fake social media profiles (including Linkedin, and web domains)
removal of photos copied without permission and published
Deletion of URLs
removal of false damaging reviews
Our 3-Step Removal Process
- Assessment: Review of the content, platform policies, and legal context.
- Notice & Negotiation: Sending formal requests to platforms or posters.
- Legal Takedown: If required, we initiate legal steps for removal.
There is a basic fee for the removal of content but additional fees are added due to factors mentioned above.
Please note that in 75% of cases A to D is enough to achieve content removal.
Our methods are generally very successful.
However, we cannot guarantee that all parties notified shall remove content with A to D alone. We cannot guarantee that parties shan’t be foolish and repost any removed content. Reposting could happen during the tenure of our activity or afterwards.
The fee is payable in two stages:
Step One - A & B
Step Two - C & D
If A to D solves the issue then there will be no further fees payable after the first payment.
The timescale for the content removal is usually three to six months but it can take longer if there is court dispute.
We can represent you to finish all court proceedings, should you so wish, and subject to agreeing on fixed fees.
Important Notice on Eligibility for Our Services
At PAIL® Solicitors, our content removal services are tailored for clients who have already exhausted platform-level reporting procedures—such as community guidelines or moderation systems on social media, forums, or search engines. We are a law firm, and our involvement typically begins once legal proceedings or formal dispute resolution are required.
Our services are structured for complex or high-value matters, and fees for contentious disputes begin at £500 + VAT (£600 total) for a preliminary legal consultation. We do not offer instalment payment options or free advice, and therefore may not be the right fit for individuals seeking general support or assistance navigating internal platform complaints processes.
If your matter has not yet been escalated through the appropriate community or platform channels, or if budget constraints are a concern, we respectfully suggest seeking alternative resources or legal clinics that may be better suited to your circumstances.
