Attorneys provide counsel that keeps their clients functioning under a variety of conditions. Because of that, they tend to turn to their attorneys for all kinds of advice, including how to deal with the press in times of crisis.
We have worked with a number of attorneys on reputation management in crisis. They understand the need to manage the public face of a legal situation. And they know that helping the client win on both the legal stage and the theater of public opinion requires different skills. These attorneys work with us to satisfy four goals:
- To operate within the legal constraints of the situation
- To make sure our mutual client is portrayed fairly, accurately and responsibly in the media
- To allow our mutual client to preserve their reputations, whether or not legal actions result from the initial crisis
- To enable our mutual client to get back to business as usual.
We work with attorneys and their clients on both pre-crisis planning and post-crisis management. In all cases, our objective is to secure the client’s reputation and, if applicable, the future success of their business or organization. We know that clients’ stakeholders –customers, employees and the public in general – judge their character and the integrity of their organization by their handling of crises.
