Appleby, The Guardian newspaper and the BBC announced they have settled a lawsuit brought by the offshore law firm against the British media organizations in the wake of the so-called “Paradise Papers” coverage that was based on documents that Appleby said were stolen from the firm in a cyberattack.

Appleby is taking legal action against two U.K.-based media organizations, the BBC and The Guardian, over their reporting of offshore transactions by the law firm’s clients based on what Appleby calls confidential information taken in a “criminal act.”
