The solicitors currently protecting the reputation of Ian Edmondson, suspended from the News of The World pending a further internal investigation into who knew what about listening to answerphones, are PSB Law, based just off Oxford Street, London. Lead partner Eddie Parladorio is no stranger to the world of celebrity and newspapers. He's work in media law for Schillings, Avanti Law, Max Bitel Greene and Statham Gill Davies. An 2008 Independent profile said "Parladorio is regarded as a bit of a rough diamond among London's libel fraternity. "Don't mess with Eddie in or out of court," warns one leading litigator".
In 2001, Parladorio complained that the Metropolitan Police were tapping his phone conversations. He also caused a bit of stir at a legal bash a in 2002 when he turned up on the arm of Ulrika Jonsson, shortly after she parted from Sven Goran-Eriksson.

More recent clients have included former amateur boxer and film-star Tamer Hassan, star of Kick-Ass; Everton FC manager David Moyes; and the tanning company, Fake Bake. Eddie's wife, Bethany, is with a "boutique beauty and health PR company" Media Hubb, that represents Fake Bake, amongst others. Today Eddie is in the Mail on Sunday representing the former boyfriend of a lingerie designer.
Where might Ian and Eddie have met in the past ? Could it have been in 2009 when Eddie was representing Commander Ali Dizaei in the matter of allegations arising from an investigation by the "fake sheikh" Mazher Mahmood of The News of The World ? The Commander accepted substantial damages and an apology.
In February 2010 Mr Dizaei was convicted of corruption offences and is now serving a four-year prison sentence.
