Webinar: Litigation vs. Arbitration – June 17, 2025

Montieth & Company and Schillings frequently work together to combine our expertise in litigation, crisis, and media relations. Schillings has the largest team of defamation, libel and privacy lawyers in the world, advising on the protection and enhancement of reputation, privacy and security.  

This webinar is an in-depth discussion on how to navigate high-stakes crisis communication during arbitration, and examines strategies for managing media silence, speculation, and messaging when disclosure is limited or impossible.   

This session is for litigators, in-house counsel, and crisis communications professionals who operate at the intersection of legal risk and reputational impact. We’ll share real-world scenarios and case studies to highlight how proactive planning and early comms involvement can mitigate fallout and safeguard long-term credibility.
