Strategy & Communications

Legal proceedings heighten reputational risk – we can help protect your reputation during the critical moments before, during and after a court hearing.

A court of law and the court of public opinion are separate jurisdictions, but they run in parallel and influence each other. A negative judgement from either can be seriously damaging if not handled correctly.

When your issue is headed to court, we provide strategic litigation support to protect your reputation with investors, customers, employees, regulators and journalists.

Our Litigation Communications professionals work with executive leadership teams, in-house counsel and external counsel during sensitive legal proceedings to help them win inside and outside the courtroom.

The critical role of strategic communications during a legal process

We establish our client’s position and reduce their reputational risk.

Teneo has a depth of experience supporting clients through high-profile litigation, internal investigations and enforcement actions by regulators, as well as additional follow-on issues like leadership transitions and settlements.

We work with large companies and major institutions involved in civil and criminal proceedings, advising on audience engagement and navigating the intersection of law, the media and key stakeholders. We can provide guidance at any stage, often joining before litigation officially begins, when the potential legal threat is still looming.

We develop strategies to manage complex litigation communications effectively ahead of and throughout the proceedings, during and after the decision, and as part of a carefully planned reputation rebuild.
