■ Preserving valuation
■ Enhancing stakeholder confidence
■ Influencing key decision makers
Our team is equally adept at representing plaintiffs and defendants:
■ Stepping in before a demand letter is sent or complaint filed: crafting messaging and developing a communications strategy.
■ Supporting a client throughout the pre-trial process: scenario-planning and preparing communications to capitalize on or respond to key milestones, from new motions to critical hearings and pivotal procedural decisions.
■ Providing live on-site trial support: managing news media in the courtroom and refining messaging in real time to reflect trial developments.
■ Providing ongoing support through the conclusion: managing media relations and stakeholder communications around settlement or the appeals process to help instill confidence in a client’s legal and business strategy.
