Strategic Advice

Most disputes are decided before anyone files.

What gets written, to whom, and how quickly can be an important determinant of how a dispute occurs and progresses. We work closely with client objectives and excel where the work is sensitive and the audience is rarely only the counterparty.

How we help Stay ahead by knowing your rights and playing the right cards. Experience-based nuanced perspective on dealing with governmental/ regulatory notices and actions. Handle sensitive and public perception matters

Notices and counterparty correspondence
Regulator engagement and responses
Shareholder, management and partner conflict
Board-sensitive and reputational advice

Portfolio & Tail Risk

High volume contracts, notices and communications.

Volume is its own category of risk. Most items in a portfolio never matter, but just a few end up having huge repurcussions. We keep the entire suite of documents under review so the consequential issue arises while it is still cheap and there is still time.

How we help We support where the complaint volume has outgrown the team reviewing it. We step in to handle the daily contract volume when it is overwhelming. We takeover the burden of constant and repetitive filings and letter-writing.

Contract and notice portfolios at volume
Consumer and customer claims
Compliance monitoring
Regulatory correspondence

Point of view

What we believe.

Each of these is subject matter of a post in the The Brief, which we publish on this website.

Volume is a category of risk, not a category of cost.

Most items in a portfolio never matter. A few decide a year. Treating the whole population as throughput is how the consequential one gets missed — and it is usually missed early, cheaply, and silently.

The boundary matters more than the model.

What a system refuses to decide is worth more than what it can produce. Every engagement states in writing where the machine stops and a lawyer starts, and who may move that line.

Most disputes are settled before anyone files.

The letter written in the first week usually decides the outcome two years later. That window is worth more senior attention than it normally gets, and it is where we prefer to be instructed.
