Welcome to Graham Atkins Solicitor

  Attorneys for the Republican governor and Richardson released a joint statement saying that all three people Richardson had sued -- including Schwarzenegger aides Sean Walsh and Sheryl Main -- had agreed to the settlement “to all parties’ satisfaction.” Graham Atkins , Richardson’s attorney in London, said in a telephone interview that the terms of the settlement were private: “Can’t say anything, actually. It’s all confidential. But everyone seems to be pleased.” The standards for libel are different in England. There, the accused must defend the truth of his or her statements. In the U.S., the burden shifts to plaintiffs, who must prove remarks false. Schwarzenegger never appeared in the London court, but he hired an attorney there to defend him. Even though the alleged libel was printed in a Los Angeles newspaper, Richardson sued in London because The Times is available in Britain on the Internet and in limited circulation.

  Cherie Blair, the wife of the former prime minister, is suing News International and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire over the alleged hacking of her phone by the   News of the World . Blair's lawyer, Graham Atkins , said on Wednesday he had issued a claim against Mulcaire and News Group  Newspapers , the News International subsidiary that published the now defunct News of the World, "in relation to the unlawful interception of her voicemails". Blair was at the heart of the British government for 10 years – from May 1997 to June 2007 – as the wife of the former prime minister, Tony Blair. It is not known when  Cherie Blair  is alleged to have been targeted. The fresh legal action comes as Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper group attempts to settle a mounting number of civil claims over alleged voicemail interception by the News of the World, which closed in July 2011.
