CRISIS MANAGEMENT EXPERT
|
|
|
|
Did an organization "make the right call" when deciding how to communicate about or react to a crisis? Was it adequately prepared to prevent and/or mitigate predictable crises? Is it "spinning" - using words to obfuscate the truth? Bernstein Crisis Management's president, Jonathan Bernstein, has decades of experience helping attorneys evaluate such matters, as well as providing direct assistance to their clients in times of crisis, working as a integral part of the legal response team. His prior experience as an investigative reporter for famed columnist Jack Anderson sharpened his natural ability to ask the types of questions that may not always occur to counsel. And, he assists with unusual tasks such as witness prep from the perspective of how the witness' testimony will "sound" in the court of public opinion.

His experiences have included:
|
|
|
|
|
-
Taking a case to the "court of public opinion" on behalf of an
individual wrongly accused of a crime, resulting (as of December 2006) in prosecutors backing down and making a drastically reduced plea offer.
-
Helping a large commercial organization ensure that its litigation
strategy would (a) resonate well with its most important stakeholders and (b) not backfire in the court of public opinion.
-
Advising a product manufacturer facing imminent indictment by a
U.S. attorney.
-
Intentionally drawing media and public attention to litigation by
former employees against some prominent business and governmental entities.

To preserve privilege, Bernstein's work is subcontracted to counsel, but client attorney references are available on request.
