Crisis Management

crisis management

Thomas, Ferguson & Beskind, LLP takes a holistic approach to representing individuals who find themselves needing crisis management. While the criminal or professional consequences of an accusation or arrest are always of immediate concern, the long-term damage to a person’s reputation must also be carefully addressed. Accusations, or the threat of an accusation, require not only zealous legal representation but also a plan to manage both the short-term crisis and the potential long-term consequences of injury to a person’s reputation, career, education, employment, or business.

Someone’s life can be profoundly altered by an initial criminal charge, or an accusation of misconduct alone, even if that charge or accusation is later shown to be unfounded. The attorneys work carefully and confidentially with clients to develop strategies for crisis management when a charge or accusation has not been made public or to communicate clearly when it has. Privacy may be imperative. All of the attorneys at Thomas, Ferguson & Beskind, LLP have successfully worked with a variety of clients including students, academics, and those in the corporate world. They have helped clients create plans to preserve their public reputation, speak with the media, advocate with stake holders in the justice system, and take ownership of the information that is available about them online. Having a plan in place may mean that a charge or accusation is never made public or may lessen the damage done to reputation after the fact. Crisis management is an essential part of confronting the serious issues that many of our clients face.
