Litigation Public Relations

Public relations in the litigation context is a specialized discipline requiring a thorough understanding of the legal process, the sophisticated nature of lawsuits and the litigators who bring them.  Combining decades of experience as former practicing attorneys, seasoned public relations and marketing executives and journalists, we are uniquely able to grasp the substantive law underlying the claims in a case in order to craft the appropriate strategy to achieve a client’s individual goals.

These areas of expertise are the “sweet spots” of HBC’s practice.  We have placed stories that have stopped lawsuits before they started, brought stubborn opponents to the negotiating table,and initiated settlements.  We have headed off damaging stories before they have seen the light of day.  In addition, we have coached numerous clients through challenging interviews in major television and print media.  Litigation successes also provide an opportunity for aggressive PR efforts to reinforce an organization’s reputation and capitalize on its growth efforts.
