Crisis Management

Companies and nonprofit organizations sometimes experience major events that threaten legal, financial and reputational harm to the organization and its stakeholders. These often come in the form of some assault on the organization – the discovery of internal or external crimes or serious wrongdoing, a regulatory agency subpoena or investigation, or public or consumer claims of product failure or mishandling of trust. Crises have the potential to disrupt management and operations, harm the organization mission and devolve into a nightmare of litigation and regulatory entanglement.
