Fueled by plaintiff-driven misperceptions, nuclear verdicts in growing numbers of cases are reaching hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars – large verdicts equal big headlines.
Plaintiffs leverage the growing reach of legal media and social media to taint the reputations of products, companies and their conduct before parties ever set foot in court for trial.
Investors increasingly track litigation developments as it is a major risk factor for the companies they support or follow.
Litigation funding and advertising tend to follow the money – meaning, they go where there are perceptions of large payoffs.
Employees, customers, vendors, investors and other key stakeholders may lose confidence in companies that don’t appear to be fighting back when sued in court and/or fail to defend themselves in the court of public opinion.
Polling data today shows that many Americans expect companies not only to meet the letter of the law, but also a subjective test of corporate responsibility.
Like medicine and law, public relations has many different kinds of practitioners, each with their own areas of specialization. If you are very sick with a heart issue, you want a cardiologist with deep experience treating patients with your specific condition. Similarly, if you are being sued in a bet-the-company case, you want a legal professional who specializes in the relevant area of law and has an extensive and positive track record.
The same is true for litigation communications, and maybe even more so because this area of communications has relatively few firms and professionals with deep experience in it. Many firms may dabble in litigation-related work, but very few firms have decades of full-time practice in litigation communications and the range of experience that we have.
We don’t just practice litigation communications – we literally helped create the field.

"Over my career -- leading high-profile litigation in private practice and managing crises and critical legal matters as a corporate general counsel -- I’ve worked with many communications firms and seen both their value and limitations. There is no firm more strategic, experienced and savvy than Vision360 Partners and they should be at the top of the list for any company needing thoughtful and strategic communications support for critical litigation and crisis management."
“Vision360 should be on every law firm and corporate counsel’s list for communications support. The firm has a unique ability to communicate complex legal issues to media and other audiences persuasively, creatively and effectively. Over six years, Vision360 has designed and executed communications campaigns that have helped LCJ deliver material changes to judicial rules in federal and state courts.
