Reputation Management

At KBH, we know that in today’s world, great lawyering means more than just winning legal battles. It means understanding the power of public opinion and how to manage a crisis across multiple platforms. We have a dedicated Crisis Management Practice Group, steered by the Partners of KBH, that is always prepared to handle any situation, from cyber breaches and government investigations to employee misconduct and product defects.

Our team works around the clock, across multiple time zones, to implement tactical communication plans and lead clients through even the most challenging situations. And we don’t just react to crises – we help our clients prepare for them. We offer informed thought leadership and proactive strategies to enhance your brand and impress your stakeholders, including conducting internal reviews, leveraging best practices, and mitigating risk before a crisis even occurs.

At KBH, we understand that a crisis can threaten your company, your CEO, your business, and your relationships.

We work tirelessly to build a compelling story, communicate effectively with all relevant audiences, and mitigate the risks associated with crisis situations.
