Maltin PR

What Maltin PR does

Maltin PR is a privately held, London-headquartered boutique public relations and litigation communications consultancy founded in 2009 by Tim Maltin. The firm serves law firms, corporates, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and sports organizations, with a specialist focus on high-value, complex, multi-jurisdictional litigation support, crisis communications, and reputation management. Core service lines include Litigation PR, Legal PR, Crisis Communications, Corporate and Private Client Reputation Management, Influence Campaigns, Public Affairs, Investigations, and sector practices in Energy, Sports, and Defence & Security. The firm is supported by in-house digital, design, SEO, and media monitoring capabilities, plus a media training offering. The team is reported at 50 international experts including ex-BBC journalists, lawyers, and government relations advisers, with offices in London, Washington D.C., California, and Chicago.

The firm operates a direct, enterprise sales-led model with no intermediary channel. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly retainer engagements, with publicly disclosed rate cards ranging from £5,000 to £250,000 per month depending on service line and client complexity, plus project-based litigation PR work. Instructing law firms serve as a key referral channel, and the firm has been consecutively recognized as Band 1 in the Chambers Litigation Support Guide (2024–2026) and Tier 1 in the Legal 500 UK 2026. The firm has no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Unit economics depend on senior partner-led client delivery, with limited software or platform-based revenue; the in-house Investigations and Digital/Design teams provide cross-sell but no standalone productized offering.
