Crisis Management

Clarity and insight when it matters

Sometimes a situation is unforeseen, acute – and requires immediate action. In such an event, our agile, responsive Crisis Management practice is available 24/7 to provide immediate legal assistance and coordination. Our team will cover all relevant angles to quickly contain the situation, as well as limit the prejudice and other adverse effects.

When coordinating a crisis, we typically report directly to the board, leadership team and company owner(s) – working closely with your in-house legal team and communication department. Externally, we can liaise and coordinate with the authorities, shareholders, technical experts, PR advisers and stakeholders. Our focus is to contain the crisis and restore normal operations quickly – protecting both your reputation and bottom line.

A key characteristic of a crisis is that it comes unannounced and unforeseen. Based on experience, we know that valuable time can be saved by being well prepared with a crisis playbook in place. We can work with you to prepare yours and keep it fully up to date. Should a crisis hit, your playbook is then at the ready to help protect all your interests. We recommend that every company and organisation of a certain size has one.
