Crisis Management
Our crisis management lawyers help you prevent and prepare for, respond to and recover from crises
Our cross-border crisis management team helps you:
Prepare: plan for the unexpected
Some problems that a company faces are genuinely impossible to predict or avoid, but many others are avoidable or can be mitigated through robust controls, a strong culture and good governance. Increasingly regulators expect to see these in place, and the organisation’s exposure to regulatory or criminal risk continues to become much greater if they are inadequate or non-existent.
Planning for the unexpected is critical to ensuring that a business can respond efficiently and effectively when serious issues arise. We help clients develop strategies and systems to ensure that they are well placed to handle crises and mitigate their impacts.
We can review your risk management systems, provide training on crisis response and risk management, and create and test crisis readiness plans.
Recover: re-orientate to a new normal
We help embed the lesson learned from a crisis into your risk management system, to avoid recurrence and to enable you to become more resilient.
Once the worst is passed, we work with you to identify key learnings, and longer-term responses. We do this through investigating the issues to identify the root cause, providing guidance and recommendations and working with you to ensure that necessary changes have been communicated, implemented and tracked throughout the organisation.
