In today’s fast-moving business environment, a single crisis, whether arising from online defamation, adverse media coverage, stakeholder backlash and/or a viral controversy, can escalate rapidly. If not managed carefully, such situations may undermine public confidence, disrupt operations, and expose businesses to serious legal and financial risk.

Our practice focuses on guiding businesses through high-stakes disputes and reputational crises with clarity, discretion, and decisiveness. We work closely with clients from the outset to stabilise the situation, assess legal exposure, and implement a coherent strategy that protects both commercial interests and long-term reputation.

Our services typically include:

• Drafting measured and legally sound public statements, apologies, and communications that address stakeholder concerns while minimising liability
• Issuing formal demand notices and cease-and-desist letters to halt defamatory or damaging publications
• Advising on legal and regulatory risk, including potential exposure under defamation law, criminal provisions, and applicable regulatory frameworks

If your business involves reviewing a large volume of contracts on a monthly basis, then being a bottle-neck is never an option.

Here, we will own the whole day-to-day contract review function, and we pick up the way you do. No need for instructions each time. We will review each contract to see if we need to escalate to you and if not, we review, and send back to you within 3 working days.
