A panel discussion led by Rich Klein (LawFirmsPR) who will be joined by Jonathan Bernstein of Bernstein Crisis Management (author, Keeping the Wolves At Bay: A Media Training Manual) and Michele DeStefano Beardslee, Associate Professor at the University of Miami School of Law (author, Advocacy in the Court of Public Opinion). The panel will discuss why corporate management, and particularly general counsel, need to consider crisis communications when involved in high stakes litigation. They will also give some basic advice about what actions companies can take to protect their reputations (online and off) at all stages of high stakes litigation.
