Litigation Support

High-profile litigation can adversely affect a company’s image, its position in the marketplace, and its standing with investors and strategic partners.

RLM provides strategic counsel and hands-on support to clients faced with major litigation, such as class-action lawsuits, disputes with other companies, and cases involving regulatory and law enforcement agencies. Our objective in such a situation is to advance the client’s legal strategy as well as to win in the court of public opinion.

We work closely with a company and its attorneys to develop and implement a communications plan that is consistent with specific litigation objectives and broader business goals, and that makes a persuasive case with each of the client’s key audiences. Since distorted perceptions about litigation issues can easily be established by the mere filing of a legal complaint, we work with a client before a case becomes public to formulate effective messages and strategies.

High-profile litigation-related projects we have undertaken include:

  • Communications advice and support for companies facing class-action and individual discrimination lawsuits in the energy, financial services, aerospace, and transportation industries
  • Strategic and tactical assistance to companies involved in asbestos-related suits
  • Strategic counsel and communications support for a global energy company facing a multi-national environmental lawsuit
  • Protection of a well-known designer-apparel brand during a lawsuit against a licensee
