Legal battles are no longer confined to the courtroom. Period. Many are actually decided in the court of public opinion before a single document is filed—and there’s little room for error when the jury hearing your case is a group of angry bloggers, 10,000 shareholders hanging on your every word, or a national television audience. Whether you’re trying to make news or get your client’s name out of it, we can help.
WE KNOW THE PRESS
For nearly three decades, Shipley & Associates has provided a full range of public affairs and media relations services to an extensive client list. We’ve taken that expertise—and the national media contacts we developed along the way—and created a litigation communications practice that has what it takes to tackle any issue or go head-to-head with any adversary.
OUR PRODUCT IS UNIQUE
Our litigation communications unit is staffed by a team of public relations professionals who work with our litigation support group to provide a product no PR agency can match. We’re able to work with your client’s in-house communications department, with outside agencies, or directly with litigators to examine evidence, develop narratives and press materials, and then interface with the media.
WE VALUE DISCRETION
Engaging the press during active litigation is a delicate matter, and that’s why we often take steps to minimize our footprint, sometimes operating in near or total invisibility. You might not have known we were involved, but you name it and we’ve worked on it—whether it’s a mass tort with tens of thousands of plaintiffs, a national class action against the world’s biggest computer makers, or a patent dispute serious enough to make international headlines. Let us put that know-how to work for you and your client.
