Partners Under Pressure
Phone hacking, fee-padding and expense fiddling have put a few prized partners, as well as their partnerships, under reputational pressure.
- How would you cope with the media onslaught if it were one of your partners in the frame?
- What internal communications would you undertake? How and when?
- What would you tell your clients? How and when?
It's often said that tricky issues are judged as much by how they are handled as by their underlying cause. That usually means more than a "no comment" response by the firm in the firing line.

Whether advising in the background or taking a front-line spokesperson role, our skill is knowing what to say, to whom, when and how in scenarios that are dynamic and legally charged. We've worked with a number of law firms to prepare for, or handle, unwelcome situations - from partner dismissals to firms facing reputational damage by a partner's conduct.
