FGS Global's litigation advice is of the highest quality: strategic, comprehensive and outcomes-focused. Few, if any, other strategic communications firms can offer this level of advice.
FGS Global distinguishes itself through a rare combination of strategic sophistication, subject-matter fluency and true partnership. Their ability to operate at the intersection of law, policy, economics and media sets them apart. Their strategic instincts are also exceptional. They consistently demonstrated an ability to see around corners; anticipating media narratives, preparing us for inflection points in the litigation and positioning the case proactively rather than reactively.
FGS Global is highly competent; its partners handle matters directly and take the time to listen carefully to their clients.
FGS Global is incredibly responsive, commercial and tailored. They took the time to get to know our approach to strategies and preferences generally, both in tone and culture. They take the time to understand our voice and to tailor to us, the opposite of a one-size-fits-all. They are also beyond responsive and easy to work with. It is easy to discuss any issue large or small at any time of the day. They bring a bench of knowledge and experience, but also only use the appropriate staffing to fit for the task. I am incredibly fortunate to have them on my roster.
FGS Global is excellent. The team is totally responsive, very smart and up to speed on anything critical. Their judgement is absolutely top-drawer above the others.

Peter Gardner is a partner in the FGS Global Washington office. Gardner often manages communications strategies in connection to high-profile government litigation.
Peter Gardner distinguished himself through a combination of strategic alignment, responsiveness and genuine partnership. He was fully immersed in our work, understood the stakes of the litigation and consistently ensured that communications strategy was tightly aligned with our legal and organisational objectives. He is also a pleasure to work with: approachable, personable and quick with humour at moments when the work was particularly intense. In high-pressure matters, that combination of professionalism and humanity makes a real difference.
I think very highly of Peter Gardner's work.
