Media relations

When the story matters as much as the verdict

Twenty years standing between clients and the press at Irwin Mitchell and Leigh Day: inquests, campaigns that changed the law, and families who needed a voice, or protection from intrusion, at the worst time of their lives. Crisis management for firms when the story turns on them.

Media relations and case studies

In their words

David did a great job for us over many years at Leigh Day. His knowledge was essential to the constant high profile of the firm through good times and more challenging times.

Strategic Consulting

Media relations, marketing leadership and digital strategy, delivered directly to law firms at the most senior level. Not an agency: an adviser and former director who has sat at the table and stood on the court steps.
