Crisis & litigation communications
Whether a loss of reputation needs to be avoided or beaten, our team knows how to operate in situations that pose harm to a company and its leaders. Consider boardroom crises, staff strikes, fraud, shareholder activism, social responsibility issues or any other disruptions to operations.
Whichever it is, time pressure is always immense and acting fast and decisively is essential, especially in the new world of social media where a carefully built reputation can be destroyed in minutes.
What’s needed is straight-forward and honest communication that accepts responsibilities, explains the actions being taken and swiftly addresses incorrect assumptions. We understand the legal dynamics of these high risk situations and can support you in developing a communication strategy to inform stakeholders and reduce pressure on your reputation to an acceptable level.
Clients & cases
Over the years, we have advised on a great variety of issues (potentially) affecting corporate reputation. We have been involved in cases of alleged corporate and financial scams and class actions. Moreover we advised in labour union conflicts, CSR-related issues, alleged corporate governance breaches and preservations of Supervisory and Management Board reputations. Due to the confidential nature of these activities we cannot disclose any client names.
