SLANDER

UK-based defamation lawyer Adelaide Craig (Rachel Griffiths) has spent the last twenty years carving out a ferocious reputation in the courts. When a shocking workplace incident requires her to leave London she
decides to return to Australia to set up a progressive, women-led chambers specialising in defamation law. But the country’s changed, as has the legal profession, and she’s carrying guilt about the mess she left behind. When Adelaide joins forces with a formidably spicy solicitor, Jasmine Maloney (Jessica De Gouw) and enthusiastic junior Leila Yadav (Roxie Mohebbi) the three begin to cause ripples amidst the close-knit community with their capacity to slice through cases and go that extra mile for clients.
