Crisis Management & Media Relations
Our crisis management team approaches complex matters strategically and with a confidence informed by deep-bench expertise and proven success. Led by Amy Rao Mohan, an Emmy Award-winning former news reporter and television anchor, the team includes attorneys from our litigation, corporate, and regulatory practice groups, each of whom has practical experience in this high-stakes space: from holding elected office, to serving in law enforcement, to working as executive-level corporate managers and in-house counsel.
Crisis management is a complex discipline that benefits from a multi-disciplinary approach. We work to meet clients’ unique needs, covering media preparedness and crisis management in areas including:
- High-profile litigation
- Civil and criminal investigations
- Government inquiries
- Data security issues and cyber breaches
- Business disruption
- Casualty events
- Competitor interference
- Corporate successions
