Crisis Management and Internal Investigations

Responses to corporate crises today must be more rapid, yet more thoughtful, than ever. In managing crises, companies must answer to increasingly diverse and demanding constituencies including shareholders, boards, employees, regulators and the press. This session explored how to effectively manage a corporate crisis, such as:

• Communicating with the constituencies upon discovery of a crisis
• Evaluating risk and defining the scope of an internal investigation
• Identifying appropriate remedial and disciplinary action
• Developing a communications strategy after the investigation is complete

Presenters included: Gregory S. Bruch, Foley & Lardner LLP; Pamela L. Johnston, Foley & Lardner LLP; and Jonathan Schwartz, Cablevision Systems Corporation.
