Litigation and Dispute PR is about managing the impact of a conflict on staff, clients, the media and other stakeholders through planned and thoughtful communications. Mishandled disputes can cause a decline in staff moral, client dissatisfaction and the wrong kind of media interest. High profile disputes that are likely to result in litigation require sensitive handling to minimise and manage these risks and reduce the potential of serious and enduring harm to the reputation of a company or individual.

Often, organisations are slow to identify the attendant dangers of potentially high profile disputes. Pyrrhic victories are won in the court of law while reputations can be lost in the court of public opinion.

We offer market leading expertise in managing communications in times of dispute, working closely with the client’s legal team, to seamlessly dovetail stakeholder communications into the legal strategy. We are acutely aware of the need for contempt avoidance, understand the legal process and, importantly, the legal status of information of and documentation.

At Byfield we believe that good litigation and dispute PR requires an intimate understanding of the law and legal process
