CREATING VALUE

Specialist communications for complex legal issues is our core competence. Business transactions are often accompanied by legal problems that frequently collide head-on with stakeholder interests or have the potential to tarnish the reputation of companies and managers. It is therefore fundamentally important for management and legal departments to consider the media consequences of corporate legal actions, to think them through, and to place them with clients as a potential, risk-exacerbating problem. The same is true in reverse for communicators. Successful communication requires a strong understanding of the associated legal implications. Hedging public outreach, whether defensively or proactively, with relationship-buidling in government and politics increases the chances for success of any given project.
