Protecting Reputations

We protect companies, professional services firms, individuals, schools, charities, and other entities against the most challenging threats to their reputations. These include:

• Financial and non-financial misconduct
• Mis-selling
• Criminal issues including prosecutions
• Regulatory investigations
• Data and cyber threats
• Threatened and actual litigation
• Employment tribunals
• Bribery and corruption allegations
• Financial distress and turnaround situations

We frequently give issues management support in circumstances which hold the potential to become fully blown crises if not handled sensitively and carefully. These include:

• Failed M&A
• Redundancy programmes
• Office closures
• Geopolitical risk
• Social media policy contraventions
• Business continuity issues

Our experience working in the legal sector over more than 15 years means we are able to quickly help clients assess risk and handle stakeholder communications effectively in the most difficult of circumstances.

We are particularly well-versed in handling investigative journalists’ enquiries.

We also have market-leading expertise advising on crises involving regulated professionals, including Solicitor’s Regulatory Authority and Financial Conduct Authority investigations.

We have advised clients in sectors including financial services, FMCG, insurance, energy, education, trusts and corporate services, law and other professional services, private equity portfolio companies and more.

We are independently ranked by Chambers and Partners for Crisis and Risk Management.
