Guiding clients through crises is central to the service we provide at Withers. With specialists across multiple disciplines, worldwide, we advise both organisations and individuals facing crisis situations.
Our specialists – across our white-collar crime and investigations, media and reputation, financial services regulatory, employment, charities, restructuring and insolvency, data protection, tax and family teams – come together to provide tailored advice to businesses and individuals facing all kinds of crisis, whether that's financial, organisational, personnel, situational or otherwise. When combined, we provide a hugely experienced, high-quality crisis unit that can service our clients' needs under one roof.
We advise clients at every stage of a crisis, from immediate response and recovery (managing relationships with key stakeholders including law enforcement, regulators and the media; mitigating damage caused by threats or allegations; leading contentious disputes) to evaluation and prevention (conducting risk and reputational audits; compliance advisory; providing tailored training to individuals, businesses and boards).
We have decades of experience advising senior executives at FTSE 250 and S&P 100 businesses, as well as high-profile, HNW individuals and their families. We have also led organisations and their senior leadership teams through complex data breaches, criminal and regulatory investigations, financial crises and high-profile commercial disputes effectively and efficiently, finding solutions that keep their business, reputation and brand intact.
With crisis management lawyers across the Withers' global network (including London, Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore), we provide a bespoke team to suit our clients' needs, working 24-7 to resolve the situation.
