Crisis Communications
Senior counsel when the story is already moving.
Communications strategy and execution during active crises — media inquiries, holding statements, stakeholder briefings, and coordinated rapid response.
We take on a limited number of matters at a time. Every engagement is scoped privately after a senior partner reviews the situation — there are no packages and no published terms.
Straightforward matters resolve at the lower end. Contested content and complex escalations run longer. You receive a written timeline after intake.
Scope of work.
Delivered by senior practitioners. Documented and reported throughout.
- Immediate situation assessment
- Message and positioning strategy
- Media inquiry handling and holding statements
- Stakeholder, board, and internal communications
- Journalist and editorial engagement
- Post-crisis reputation recovery plan
Common questions.
How quickly can you engage?+
Same day for active matters. A senior partner takes the first call directly and a working plan is in your hands within hours, not after a discovery process.
Can you work alongside our existing PR or legal team?+
Yes. We routinely sit behind counsel or an in-house communications team and provide the strategy and execution they need without taking the client relationship.
Is everything kept confidential?+
Yes. A mutual NDA is executed before any material information is exchanged. Files are compartmented internally, correspondence stays off shared inboxes, and records are purged after the engagement closes. We do not publish client names.
How are engagements structured?+
Every matter is scoped individually after a confidential review. We work on a small number of engagements at a time, and terms are agreed in writing before work begins.
Do you work through outside counsel?+
Frequently. We are experienced coordinating under attorney-client privilege and can route deliverables and correspondence exclusively through counsel of your choosing.
How do we start?+
