About

Provided by August Strategic Communications

Litigation and internal and government investigations require a specialised understanding of legal and regulatory issues that must be carefully considered when developing a strategic communications plan.

August’s team, which includes several former practicing attorneys and other experienced professionals, recognises that the most effective communications strategies closely align with and support the legal strategy.

August approaches these matters with the same rigor and discipline as legal teams, starting with diligent fact gathering and gaining a deep understanding of the relevant legal and regulatory issues. This foundation helps ensure that media and communications strategies are aligned with and support the overarching legal and business objectives. The team also applies a multidisciplinary approach, recognizing that social, political, economic, and cultural factors often influence stakeholder perceptions and communications outcomes.
