Charlotte Harris, co-chair of the Brown Rudnick brand and reputation management practice, is an important part of the story and is being played on screen by Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie.
The seven-part drama, written by award-winning dramatist Jack Thorne, examines the phone hacking scandal and the related investigation into the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.
Harris, recognised as one of the UK’s leading privacy and reputation lawyers, represented individuals in landmark cases central to the uncovering of the phone hacking scandal and development of privacy law
She said: ‘The Hack highlights why protecting individuals’ privacy matters so deeply and why holding powerful institutions to account remains essential. I am pleased to be featured in a series that revisits such a pivotal chapter in media and legal history and to be portrayed by the brilliant Rose Leslie.’
