Manage your risk.
As business owners, we understand that businesses face risks every day.
Whether you’re looking to manage your regulatory compliance obligations, for guidance through litigation or advice on managing cyber threats, our experts will work alongside you and take a fully tailored approach to helping you manage risk.
Litigation
Commercial disputes can present significant financial and reputational risks. We aim to minimise those risks for you. We understand that litigation is stressful and expensive and so we focus on exploring efficient and commercially viable solutions which safeguard your long-term business interests. Disputes can arise at any time and involve a wide variety of different factors. We have experts that are on hand to support you regardless of the issue, whether it arises because of a major crisis within the business, an infringement of your IP or a breakdown of relationship with a supplier.
Regulatory
Navigating the evolving regulatory landscape is essential. With increasing regulation across all industries, we provide expert strategic advice on complex regulatory frameworks. Our experts will help you to comply with applicable laws and standards, proactively identifying and addressing potential compliance gaps.
Crisis management
Strategic and decisive crisis management is crucial to mitigate damage and protect your business’s reputation. Our experts provide comprehensive crisis management support. We will develop strategic communication plans and coordinate legal responses, partnering with you to work through crisis situations. From major product recalls and data breaches to mismanagement and operational shutdowns, we help you handle crises with a focus on minimizing legal liability, preserving stakeholder confidence, and ensuring business continuity.
Reputation management
Alongside legal solutions to managing risk, there are often equally important strategies in relation to communications and PR which should be considered. When deployed appropriately alongside legal advice, these can yield quicker results than a traditional legal approach. Within our wider team, we count award-winning and internationally recognised global public relations firms specialising in corporate and private client reputation management, legal and litigation PR, and crisis communications.
Cyber
Safeguarding your digital assets and ensuring business continuity in the face of evolving cyber threats is paramount to managing risk effectively. Our team provides comprehensive support in navigating the complex and interconnected landscape of cyber security, data protection and regulatory compliance. Drawing on deep (and in some cases, unique) cyber expertise and connections from within the security, defence and intelligence sectors, and from our experience in technology and data, we can advise you on how to mitigate risks both before – whether that’s about understanding and being prepared for obligations under applicable regulations (like NIS, DORA and GDPR), having suitable contractual protections in place with customers and supply chains, understanding governmental policy positions, or knowing who to speak to in order to get help with technical mitigations and risk assessments – or after – whether that’s about formulating an effective incident response / crisis management strategy (that balances the expectations of, and the often conflicting risks posed by, customers, supply chain partners, data subjects, regulators, law enforcement bodies and government stakeholders), or guidance on where to turn for technical help (such as from incident response providers) – cyber incidents occur.
Our experts
Our experts take a fully tailored approach, suitable to your specific business requirements. This could be advising you if you find yourself in a dispute, advising on your regulatory obligations, devising a strategic communications plan as part of a wider crisis management project, or ensuring you are prepared for disruption caused by a cyber attack or data breach.
