Communications:

For clients involved in any high-profile industry, or in a legal matter that may come to the attention of the public, there can be fall-out that reaches well beyond the legal framework. With the 24/7 news cycle, matters that could have escaped public attention in the past are now fodder for a ravenous news machine. In the Internet/social media age, anything and everything can be picked up and quickly circulated around the globe. The resulting media coverage can reach audiences critical to the client's business—shareholders, investors or customers—and can have a profound effect on both the legal and business outcomes.

This turn of events can impact:

• Brand reputations
• Share values
• Settlement opportunities
• Verdicts / damages

At Duane Morris, we have strategic communications professionals who are lawyers with decades of experience and incorporate this skill into the effort of the overall legal team, striving to minimize the potential negative impact of media coverage, maximize the protection of the client's brand and position the client most favorably with its key constituencies.
