In a press release from SNR Denton, the firm announced on Friday that it has created a brand new Board Advisory and Risk & Crisis Management team to complement its global Corporate Governance practice. The new board is comprised of professionals that will help corporate boards and executive management address issues with governance prior to them becoming crises. The board will also be able to respond to emergencies in a quick manner should they occur.

“Today’s crises demand simultaneous attention to a host of challenging issues beyond the required legal response—including public relations, strategic communications, political reaction, reputation management and response to the concerns of employees, customers, vendors and suppliers,” said Mike McNamara, the firm’s US Managing Partner. “SNR Denton is uniquely positioned to provide clients an integrated, holistic, strategic response on all fronts related to corporate governance crises.”
