ACC NCR Crisis Planning and Management

Even well-managed companies are vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances and emergencies. A mismanaged crisis can result in significant and potentially irreparable damage to your business, financial stability, and reputation. In-house lawyers are frequently called upon to serve as a “voice of reason” to help assess the potential impacts of a crisis objectively and to work with the leadership team to mitigate legal, financial, and reputational risks. When dealt with effectively, these events can be a catalyst for improved performance and organizational growth, heightened relations with government agencies and improved brand perception.

The panel will talk through the issues, discuss the options, and provide practical advice on how to prepare for and lead your company and team through a crisis. In the current environment, all companies face increased vulnerability. Learn tools to help you prepare for and assess a crisis situation and formulate a plan should such a situation arise for your company.  

Presented by J. Steven Patterson, Partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth, Lyndsey Estin, Partner at Kekst CNC and Nicole Greenidge-Hoskins, Senior Vice President, General Counsel at the Human Rights Campaign and Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
