Navigate Risk

When a potential or actual crisis emerges, we help minimize liability and preserve brand and reputation, recommending concrete steps to get the crisis under control, ensuring accuracy in media coverage, executing effective stakeholder engagement, mobilizing third-party support, and transitioning the client from defense to offense.

Whether confronting an activist investor, employee misconduct, product liability allegations, aggressive competitors, or any other event that threatens your brand, reputation, and mission, we’ve seen it all and know what needs to be done.

We help identify and address potential crises before they erupt, assess the state of stakeholder relations, and take actions that resolve tensions and best position clients to fight. This includes developing customized crisis communications plans and organizing scenario trainings to put them to the test.

We create and execute communications, stakeholder outreach, and political strategies in support of prosecuting and defending civil and criminal cases and congressional, regulatory, state attorney general, and law enforcement investigations. We also help our clients achieve their goals in bankruptcy proceedings, turnarounds, and restructurings.

We have long and deep experience across industries, legal issues, and actions. We’ve helped institutions and individuals in just about every industry under the sun for just about every legal subject area under the sun.

Few challenges are as daunting for clients as reporters diving deep, and addressing media investigations is a specialty in and of itself.

What clients need most at these times are fierce advocates who master the substantive issues, whose sole concern is that clients are treated fairly, and who understand how journalism works.

With decades of experience working with investigative reporters and outlets, no one fights harder than we do to get that fair treatment.

Whom you partner with, and in whom you invest, are defining facets of your reputation and standing with stakeholders. You can leverage transactions to create immense value or you can damage your reputation. We help clients evaluate the risk before the point of no return to ensure they avoid unwise moves or take steps to minimize potential harm.
