Our experience in complex cases and our multidisciplinary approach are our greatest strengths in helping companies get through turbulence as quickly and safely as possible. We have participated in the management of some of the biggest crisis events in Brazilian corporations, including the aviation, mining, port, chemical, petrochemical, infrastructure, and construction industries.
The focus of our work is to contain the impacts of the crisis in order to preserve the company's reputation, minimize losses, and ensure business continuity. In each situation, we apply our knowledge of standards and legislation appropriately. We quickly assess the risks, impacts, and responsibilities, developing solutions tailored to the client's needs.
Our work aims to:
- Ensure business continuity and the return of activities affected by the crisis;
- Establish and coordinate deliberative governance, organizing the flow of information for quick and safe decisions;
- Assess the consequences of the actions taken in terms of civil, administrative, and criminal liability;
- Manage relationships with public authorities, communities, regulatory bodies, banks, insurance companies, capital markets, and the press;
- Define a coherent and precise response message for all affected audiences.
