Crisis Management

Should our clients need to manage a sensitive media issue, BAA can be of considerable assistance. We have extensive experience helping clients achieve the best outcome possible when faced with crises such as:

• Negative media stories
• Egregious mistakes by the media
• Loss of major clients
• Significant outflow of assets
• Voluntary and involuntary departure of key personnel
• Extreme market turbulence
• Confrontations with dissident investors
• Disparaging media comments by third parties
• Disappointing investment performance
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Employee misbehavior
• Acrimonious legal action
• Restructuring and downsizing
• SEC litigation.

We help clients clarify and manage these issues and address the media and other key constituencies in an efficacious manner. We take into account how the situation at hand may impact or influence all external and internal constituents. In certain situations we work closely with our clients’ legal counsel.

Oftentimes, it is as important to address the needs of clients, prospective clients, intermediaries, board members, shareholders, employees, third-party sales channels, ratings agencies, vendors and other constituents as it is to focus on the media.
