Melanie Riley

Melanie Riley has 30 years’ PR experience in the field of legal and corporate communications, public affairs and litigation PR. 

She founded Bell Yard Communications in 2002. Her long-established track record lies in providing thoughtful litigation PR and reputation management advice to clients on a wide variety of sensitive issues. She is regularly instructed on behalf of businesses, law firms, chambers, charities and high-profile individuals across a number of jurisdictions.

Melanie has consistently been ranked a Band 1 Litigation PR agency in Chambers and Partners’ Litigation Support Guide and is described by peers as “phenomenally discreet and capable” and “incredibly effective” while lawyers say: “if I could have only one speed dial to a PR, it would be to Melanie at Bell Yard.”

In her “spare” time, Melanie is training her new puppy, plays and watches tennis all over the world and likes planning sunshine and seaside breaks.
