When faced with a sudden or emerging event that gives rise to significant legal, financial, or public relations exposure, individuals and corporate management need an advisor they can trust to handle and coordinate all aspects of the crisis, whether it stems from internal or external events. 

Our attorneys strive to give our clients the highest probability of achieving their immediate and long-term goals while minimizing disruption and adverse business and personal impact, employing a strategic and business-focused approach to addressing the emergency, and often most importantly, protecting our client’s reputation.

We represent small and large companies, C-suite executives, high-profile individuals, universities, political candidates, and governmental entities in high-stakes matters involving, among other topics, financial services and securities matters, regulatory proceedings, campaigns and elections, reputation management, professional conduct and physical and electronic disaster-relief matters.

Our attorney team brings the judgment, skills, relationships and experience to provide an integrated approach to resolving crises for our clients. We develop a multidimensional strategy that addresses the legal, regulatory, media, practical, and reputational aspects of the current matter, and we plan for mitigation of longer-term business, career or personal implications. 

Our versatile attorneys draw on their decades of significant knowledge and hands-on experience solving complex problems in high-profile and fast-paced settings, conducting global investigations, responding to government regulators and investigations, preparing witnesses, managing litigation, working with the media, designing compliance policies and programs, protecting private data and reputations, and formulating strategies to manage the client’s crisis on multiple fronts. 

Our attorney team combines rapid response during the first critical hours and days of a crisis with strategic guidance in order to:

• Establish triage and prioritize issues, focusing on containing or minimizing harm
• Gather facts, secure and manage information
• Formulate a comprehensive, practical strategy, considering legal, business, governmental, regulatory, public relations and reputational impacts
• Develop, manage and implement communication strategies, when necessary by partnering with skilled public relations and communications practitioners
• Coordinate and manage outside advisors to deal with any corollary situations
• Continually modify and update plans and responses as needed
• Maintain close communication with the client throughout the process
