What this line is for.

Every situation is different, and most don't fit neatly into one box. These are the conversations people usually start on this line.

  • Executive or board scrutiny

    Questions about a leader's conduct, decisions or past. We help you establish the facts, decide who speaks and when, and prepare statements that hold up when they're read twice.

  • Litigation or regulatory exposure

    A lawsuit, an investigation or a regulator's inquiry. We work alongside your counsel so what you say in public supports what's being argued in private.

  • Reputation events

    A story about to run, a customer or employee incident, a post that's spreading. We help you decide whether to respond, how, and through whom.

  • Leaks

    Internal documents, messages or conversations made public. We help you take stock of what's out there, speak to the people who matter most first, and keep the next day from being worse than this one.

  • Planning ahead

    Nothing is on fire yet, and you'd like it to stay that way. We help you write the plan, name the spokespeople and prepare the holding statements before you need them.

The best crisis work happens before the crisis.
