LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles headquartered Englander Knabe & Allen and New York City based The PR Consulting Group (PRCG) today announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership to offer crisis and litigation communication services to clients nationwide.
The PR Consulting Group, led by attorney, author and communications consultant James F. Haggerty, is a reputation management and strategic communications consulting firm based in New York. The firm is best known for its work in litigation communications and other legal-related crisis matters. Jim Haggerty is the author of the groundbreaking book In the Court of Public Opinion: Winning Strategies for Litigation Communications (ABA Publishing, 2009). Now in its second edition, In The Court Of Public Opinion was called "...the perfect handbook for this age..." by Financial Times, and has also been positively featured in publications that include The Wall Street Journal, American Lawyer and The Holmes Report.
The Washington Post has called Jim "an expert on media strategies in high-profile cases," while Ragan's Media Relations Reports has called him "one of the nation's foremost experts in Litigation PR."
Englander Knabe & Allen (EK&A) provides strategic counsel to clients on a range of issues, with particular focus on reputation and crisis management, litigation support and financial communications.
We have provided crisis counsel and prepared crisis communications plans for clients across a broad spectrum of business including food and beverage, transportation, healthcare consumer products and heavy industries. We helped municipalities and corporate client's manage crises situations and develop well-constructed plans for companies before a crisis takes place.
"EK&A's Reputation Management service covers the full spectrum of CEO and corporate reputation issues— creating and maintaining an enduring reputation to recovering reputation following a crisis. In an age of rising ethical standards and transparency expectations, our offering has become an increasingly vital part of an organization's communications strategy. Our CEO Reputation Management services are shaped by a deep understanding of the most important drivers of CEO and company reputation, and by the sophisticated strategies for improving both," said Harvey Englander, Managing Partner at EK&A.
"The focus of the partnership is on customized litigation and crisis management, not some-off- the-shelf PR plan which uses the same 10 strategies," added Englander. "We will bring a higher level of expertise to our clients than they would typically expect to get from other general PR firms."
"This consulting partnership reinforces relations between two agencies that already share a common mission: to create sophisticated strategic communication strategies tailored specifically to the needs of our clients," PRCG CEO James Haggerty said. "The new partnership will help both firms more efficiently manage our crisis and litigation communications work, while also providing coast-to-coast services for our clients."
