Corporate espionage & breach of privacy

In the cases we deal with, the stakes can be high, both for the people we act for, and those we claim against.  Sometimes the methods employed by defendant companies are unlawful and can become the cause of legal action in their own right.

The use of corporate espionage is one such example, which involves spying for commercial rather than national security purposes.  

Thus campaigners against a particular industrial activity may be infiltrated by spies commissioned by the industry in question in order to obtain confidential information that can be used to undermine the campaign.
