Crisis Management

The fundamental mission of the Crisis Management Group at Belongia, Shapiro & Franklin, LLP is to take the lead in responding to “bet-the-company” or other major legal crises for our clients.  Unexpected crisis events can quickly destabilize a company. Instantaneous and sustained response is crucial, especially when media scrutiny is immediate and intense. Legal advisors who have an established track record of success are critical to managing a corporate crisis. What does not get done, or done well, at the beginning can have real long-term adverse consequences. In this arena, there is no time for on-the-job training, for guess work, for missed priorities. We immediately assemble a closely coordinated, multidisciplined, highly experienced team. Together with our clients, we develop and execute targeted strategies for responding to governmental agencies, shareholders, the investment community and the media.
