Seven kinds of counsel, one team
Clients rarely need only one of these. A crisis becomes a regulatory matter, a regulatory matter becomes litigation, and the board needs advice throughout. The same partner stays with the matter as it changes.
-
01
Crisis readiness
Plans that fit on a page, exercises that hurt a little, and a board that has rehearsed its first hour before it needs to.
Matthew Kerrigan, Isobel Garside

02
Crisis response
A partner on the telephone within a quarter of an hour, a team in the room by the afternoon, and every line written down.
Matthew Kerrigan, Nathaniel Cobb
-
03
Regulatory and public affairs
Consultations, inquiries, licensing decisions and appeals, and the correspondence with regulators that decides how they read everything else.
Catherine Dunmore, Nathaniel Cobb
-
04
Litigation communications
Working beside a client’s lawyers on disputes and investigations, so that what is said in public never has to be explained in court.
Frances Idowu, Laura Whitcombe
-
05
Issues anticipation and narrative risk
Knowing which stories could be told about a client, and by whom, before anyone tells them. Run by the Desk, our research team.
