Overview

Our lawyers have successfully guided leading business organizations through all aspects of crisis and risk management—from risk assessments and developing strategic plans to manage crises, to successfully defending “bet the farm” litigation matters, to managing regulatory investigations which can lead to material reputational damage, and to ensure that the fault revealed by the assessment or crisis is addressed. Our principal objective at all times during a crisis is to serve as trusted counsel and advisors to our clients, in order to permit senior management to prioritize and remain focused on the immediate and longer-term business decisions that must be made in the circumstances.

We remain deeply committed to remaining a market leader in advising clients on how to identify risks and avoid crisis situations, to develop policies and procedures to mitigate risks, and to address such situations when they arise, including communication strategies, legally-privileged internal investigations, brand-protection strategies, and insurance-related issues.

,,The firm brings unique strengths to resolving issues. It all flows from having an amazing talent pool available to new and long-term clients.,,
