Managing Critical Business Situations

A business crisis can come in many forms – often without warning – and threaten the prosperity and stability of even the best run companies. In today’s “always on” digital and social world businesses are more exposed than ever to crisis-related risks anywhere in the world, a seemingly minor issue can easily become a major problem with serious consequences on a company, threatening the prosperity, stability and even the existence of an organization.

Most companies experience some sort of a crisis over the life of their business and their General Counsel are mostly not prepared for, nor experienced enough to manage one when it actually happens. It is critical to be prepared for unprecedented situations like product recalls, environmental emergencies, class-action litigation, commercial disputes, regulatory compliance issues, shareholder activism, cyber-security threats etc.
