Crisis Consulting for Lawyers
Click here for course preview
Course Overview
We can point to three recent, major crises that can
impact clients in very different ways. Lawyers should
view crisis planning and prevention as a way to provide truly invaluable service to clients, before, during
and after a crisis hits.
The events of 9/11 and to a degree the Oklahoma City
and World Trade Center bombings led to direct crises
for business and individuals. The 9/11 crisis stands
out because the impact was immediately national and
international in scope. The Enron crisis (as well as those crises involving other business ethics) presented
a creeping crisis that impacted companies and industries. The Katrina disaster represented a crisis that
impacted nearly everyone in a specific region. Each of
these crises had a wider impact from federal legislation and regulation.
For lawyers it is vital to understand that crises like
these are not isolated, but are endemic of a global
culture undergoing tremendous and rapid change. The
ability to forecast, mitigate and manage the inevitable
crises in the future that clients will endure can place your firm at the very core of importance. Therefore,
learning how to market these services to clients on a
prescriptive basis is vitally important.
