Thu, May 21, 2026, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM BST — LinkedIn Live
When a crisis hits, legal and comms teams often pull in opposite directions. Lawyers default to silence. Comms want to get ahead of the story. But without working together, your client only becomes more exposed.
This live event covers where the boundaries sit, how to work together in a way that is legally safe and minimises media interest, and why alignment from the start is what separates a contained story from a public one.
It will also cover what legal teams must be aware of from a comms context in this ever changing media landscape and the often overlooked factors that may amplify your client's case to press unnecessarily.
Who is speaking?
I'll be joined by legal expert, Paul Verrico, partner at Eversheds Sutherland, for a LinkedIn Live on how Comms and Legal teams can work together when a media crisis breaks.
As our Manchester legal partners, we work closely with Paul and the ES team on cases that require legal counsel alongside comms.
Bringing deep experience across environmental, health and safety, workplace incidents, product issues, inquests and fatal accident investigations, Paul will share the legal perspective when a media crisis breaks, so you can work quickly and easily with your teams when the worst happens.
Who is hosting?
This event is hosted by Nina Sawetz, media and crisis comms expert for clients across the UK, North America, Europe and the Middle East.
Who is this event for?
It is designed for legal firms, internal legal teams and comms/PR pros.
