Bell Pottinger wins motoring law firm’s PR licence
24.06.2009
The deal follows a competitive pitch and will see Bell Pottinger
North highlight how Driving Defences, with offices in Manchester
and London, helps motorists to protect their licences after being
accused of road traffic offences.
With a focus on media relations and online activity, the campaign
will show the benefits of motorists turning to support from Driving
Defences' road traffic law experts rather than non-specialist
solicitors.
The campaign is overseen by Bell Pottinger North director John
Butters, who reports to Driving Defences' principal Martin
Hammond.
"We are excited about this campaign, which will be fuelled by
interesting human interest stories and the success of test cases
that throw into question thousands of convictions," said
Butters.
"Driving Defences has successfully proven time and time again that
motorists have been unfairly charged or convicted because equipment
used by the police can be at fault or operated incorrectly.
"The firm's solicitors have successfully represented all types of
driver, from the man in the street needing to defend his livelihood
by staying on the road through to Premier League footballers and
high profile actors."
Driving Defences' team has 17 years' experience of successfully
supporting motorists against charges such as speeding, drink
driving, driving without due care and attention and dangerous
driving.
