Responding to a Corporate Crisis

Corporate crisis management requires managing multiple fronts, including public relations, internal and external investigations, civil and sometimes criminal litigation. The value of a company's brand and reputation cannot be overstated, and successfully navigating a corporate crisis requires balancing the interests of stakeholders, regulators, the courts, and the public.

Thanks to the support of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, SABA-DC and APABA-DC are proud to present a distinguished panel to speak to the many delicate facets of corporate crisis management. Our panelists include:

Prior to going in-house, Anjali was a Government Investigations & White Collar partner at Nixon Peabody for several years.
