Brunswick Group, FGS Global and The Levinson Group ranked in the top tier for both crisis & risk management and litigation support in the newly released rankings for 2024 from research firm Chambers and Partners.
Appearing along with Brunswick, FGS and Levinson in Band 1 (the top level) of the crisis & risk management rankings was FTI Consulting, while Reevemark and Trident DMG were in Band 1 when it came to litigation support firms.
Reevemark and Trident DMG were also in Band 2 for crisis & risk management, while August Strategic Communications, Edelman, FTI Consulting, Infinite Global, PRCG Haggerty and Sitrick and Company were in Band 2 for firms handling litigation support.
Firms nabbing a spot in Band 3 were August Strategic Communications, Risa Heller Communications and Edelman (crisis & risk management) and H/Advisors Abernathy, Poston Communications and Ripp Media (litigation support).
“A corporate communications heavyweight, Brunswick Group has a formidable global presence and brings this to bear in its crisis management advisory offering,” according to the Chambers report, while FGS is singled out for “high-level strategic capabilities and the unique and top-quality services that the firm continues to offer to clients facing crisis situations." The Levinson Group is cited for its litigation practice’s “proven track record of partnering with leading law firms who are acting counsel, or guiding clients directly through high-stakes contentious situations.”
Among those picked as Band 1 Senior Statespeople for crisis practices were Brunswick’s Ellen Moskowitz, FGS Global’s Jeff McAndrews and The Levinson’s Group Molly Levinson, while George Sard of FGS and Michael Sitrick of Sitrick and Company took that title for those offering litigation support.
Chambers ranks firms and individuals from Band 1 to 6 and stresses that being ranked in any of the bands is a “significant achievement.”
