Legal Directories & Awards Programme Increasingly, prospective clients and international tenders require Tier 1 directory rankings as a tangible and objective measure of quality and excellence against competitors. Clients frequently outsource this programme to us as many firms are concerned that the breadth and quality of its services is not accurately reflected in its key legal directory rankings and they wish to correct this over time.

We have substantial experience balancing our clients’ confidentiality with the public right to information. We advise clients how to control this flow of information and what they are, and are not, allowed to divulge at various stages of a trial. What to tell their employees, how to react to press briefings, how to deal with leaks of confidential information and most importantly, when to speak to the media. We are experts at briefing the media during the course of a trial or a crisis and helping to shape the public narrative in our clients’ favour.
