When headlines hit and reputations are on the line, the response hinges on more than just legal advice or communications strategy – it’s about both, working seamlessly together.

This is why law firm Foot Anstey is delighted to invite you to our upcoming session "Safeguarding corporate reputation in a crisis" on Wednesday 26 November. We will be joined by Louise Winmill, Partner at corporate communications and reputation management agency THREESIXTY

This event is designed to bring in-house lawyers and communications specialists into the same room to explore how joint expertise can contain crises, protect credibility and maintain the trust of stakeholders when it matters most.

In partnership with Douglas Scott, this exclusive session goes beyond the theory to look at how lawyers and PR professionals can align under pressure. You’ll hear first-hand insights from legal and communication leaders who have managed high-profile reputation issues and gain practical guidance on shaping responses that stand up in the courtroom and the court of public opinion.

What you’ll gain:

  • First-hand insight from Tom Kershaw, Partner at Foot Anstey, drawing on his experiences as the former general counsel at a listed company managing high-profile and business critical reputational issues.
  • Guidance from Louise Winmill, Partner at THREESIXTY, on the evolving media landscape and how emerging technologies such as AI are influencing communication and reputation management.
  • Collaboration in practice with Louise and Melanie McGuirk, Partner at Foot Anstey, on how lawyers and communications professionals can work seamlessly together in a crisis.
  • Legal safeguards from Melanie on the legal levers available to protect reputation and mitigate sensationalised media reporting.

The format will be informal, interactive and collaborative – with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share experiences throughout.
