Litigation communications

Cases are won in court. Reputations are decided in public.

High-stakes litigation plays out in two places at once. We manage the public side, in step with your legal team, so the court of public opinion does not undo the work being done in the court of law.

Few communications firms have guided a client through a Special Counsel investigation. We are one of them — most recently for former CIA Director Ambassador R. James Woolsey during the Mueller investigation. See our results.

We work alongside counsel, never around them. What we say in public is shaped by what can and cannot be said given the case. We handle the filings the press will read, the statement on the courthouse steps, and the long stretches when the right move is to say nothing — and to make sure that silence is not mistaken for guilt.

What this looks like in practice

• Communications strategy built around the legal strategy
• Statements and materials reviewed with your counsel
• Press handling at filings, hearings, and verdicts
• Spokesperson and media preparation
• A plan for the story in the stretches between court dates

We are communicators, not lawyers — and we know exactly where that line sits.
