Release Summary: Schillings announce the topics for their upcoming
BITESized briefings, a series of short information and Q&A
events
Press
Release Body: Schillings, one of Britain's top
law firms specialising in the areas of reputation management and
brand protection, are to hold their second series of BITESized
briefings, These information events help their clients and PR
professionals keep up to date with how to use the law as a tool
in managing and protecting reputations.
These
Schillings
events will fall into one of three categories: preparation,
prevention and publication. Schillings Lawyers will show those
who attend the events what to do early on, in order to prepare
for and avoid unwanted media attention, what to do if faced with
the threat of a damaging story being published and how damage
can be limited and reputations restored after publication.
The
first of this season’s BITESized briefings,
which was held at Schillings offices in London
at the start of September, focused on the subject of executive
reputation
management. Knowing that Senior Executives' reputations are
as important to a corporate brand as the company’s performance,
Schillings Lawyers demonstrated how to keep personal
information such as details of bonuses and family information
out of the press and how, by protecting the privacy and reputation
of its senior executives, a company can ultimately protect the
corporate reputation.
The
next briefing to be held later in the month will focus on the
importance of HR in averting a possible media crisis. With a large
number of media situations arising as a result of activities by
disgruntled ex-employees, Schillings will explain
the practical steps which can be taken by HR professionals to
prevent any issues escalating into a communications and media
crisis.
The
third event in the autumn season will concentrate on the legal
tools available for dealing with crisis management. The session
will aim to dispel the myths about using the law in assisting
with a media crisis and explain how the law can help set the record
straight when faced with defamation
issues. Schillings will also explain how employing such legal
tools can provide the PR and communications teams with positive
messages for restorative communications.
Further
BITESized briefings from Schillings
will commence in the winter, offering advice and information on
handling the media and protecting reputations from a legal perspective.
