‘Better Call Louis is incisive, startling and a lot of fun. Charalambous has seen Britain’s most sensational, sordid and consequential libel cases from the inside, and it’s finally his turn to tell all.’ Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland
Better Call Louis is a rare chance to see behind the scenes of over thirty years of landmark scandals through the eyes of one of the UK’s leading media lawyers, Louis Charalambous.
The now infamous Bashir/Diana interview. Persuading Amber Heard to be a witness against Johnny Depp. Winning damages for Robert Murat, falsely suspected in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. “Plebgate”. Defending the journalist who exposed the wrongful convictions of the Birmingham Six. Louis was in the thick of all these stories and many more, taking him on a journey from the High Court and Downing Street here to the Middle East, Los Angeles, Portugal and Strasbourg.
His unique vantage point at the heart of these affairs makes Louis the perfect guide to what really happens in this often shadowy world of deadlines, ultimatums, hubris and power.
