Edelman

Established via Washington DC office in 2005, our U.S. litigation communications offering has consistently lived on the leading edge of protecting a client’s most precious assets: its brand and reputation. Today, we’ve scaled that support on a global level, with litigation support in key offices and hubs around the world. Our team of former attorneys, government officials, corporate executives, and journalists are accustomed to working hand-in-hand with outside counsel and their clients through every phase of a legal challenge. In today’s highly litigious and ultra-connected digital society, winning in the courtroom is often not good enough. In partnership with lawyers, our team works to identify and balance the reputation exposures occasioned by legal issues, manage information flows, and build integrated responses to reach intended audiences.

While lawyers take the actions needed to further the legal interests of a business, we work alongside them to protect business reputation by ensuring legal affairs are appropriately positioned to all stakeholders in the context of the client’s brand, values, and business objectives.

Throughout the past year our teams have supported clients, in close coordination with their legal counsel, on some of the largest and most significant litigations, complex legal issues, regulatory investigations, class-action lawsuits, cyber incidents, and employment claims. The legal experience, expertise and acumen of our team equips us to guide clients, and assist counsel through complex corporate litigation, government investigations, civil enforcement actions, and high-profile criminal prosecutions – no matter the industry.

Edelman employs one of the world’s largest crisis communications team, guided by our 40+ experts in the US, to employ a hub-and-spoke model that delivers cross-border litigation and legal affairs communications counsel. This approach ensures clients and law firms can maintain a unified narrative, even in complex multi-jurisdictional cases, leveraging Edelman’s localized insights alongside its global reach.
