“Our members wanted a strong partner firm in the US, the original home of litigation PR, not least because international disputes often involve a US dimension. LEVICK has an outstanding reputation and a rich experience of crisis and legal disputes ranging from criminal or regulatory matters on Wall Street to multi-party action following environmental disasters,” said CLCA Chairperson Louise Beeson of Bell Yard Communications, CLCA’s co-founding agency in London.
Current CLCA member firms include Community in Italy, Holzinger Associates in Germany, Schneider | Mina | Jenewein Consulting in Austria, Van Kempen PR in the Netherlands and WeR1 in Singapore.
“We have already worked hand-in-hand with several CLCA colleagues very effectively on a multi-million dollar litigation case introduced to us by the Alliance and we look forward to continuing this positive collaboration with all member firms whose caliber and expertise in their domestic markets is self-evidently impressive,” said Richard Levick, Chairman and CEO, LEVICK.
LEVICK comes in at #21 in O’Dwyer’s ranking of PR firms with $19.5 million in ’15 net fees.
