PR and the Law Annual Breakfast Briefing
International reputation protection -
How the law and technology can identify and deal with cross border reputational attacks
Where do you start when your carefully managed reputation is left in ruins after a false story or private, sensitive information is published to a global audience?
We all know that the Internet is a growing threat to corporate and individual reputations. One of the most powerful aspects of the Internet is its capacity to allow anyone with a computer to become a publisher. Yet, with more than 1.8 billion people worldwide using the internet and reading the work of "citizen publishers", businesses and individuals increasingly find themselves the victims of leaked private and confidential information as well as false or inaccurate stories and allegations that are credited and repeated because they are "published".
The financial consequences of a damaged reputation can be long lasting. Businesses suffer globally in all the markets in which they operate, as negative or inaccurate stories are published and read on the Internet. Additionally, the speed with which news and comment spread across the Web means that the damage to a reputation is felt across the globe more quickly than ever possible before.
Attendees at this breakfast briefing will: - Discover a fresh and effective international approach to reputation protection through a new network of leading media law firms across the world
- Learn how to adopt a 5 point strategic plan to bring offline and online media issues from all of your commercial territories together in one single plan
- Learn how to employ internet technology to act as an early warning system to identify potential media threats and nip them in the bud before it spreads to the mainstream media
- Hear the insights of managing a pan European media issue from ArcelorMittal’s VP of Corporate Communications

Seminar and networking event
With more than 1.46 billion people worldwide using the Internet, businesses and individuals, particularly in emerging markets, may find themselves the victims of leaked private and confidential information, or false or inaccurate stories and allegations that are credited and repeated because they are “published.”
Whether they are a competitor’s planned attacks, disgruntled employees, citizen journalists or the work of careless media or bloggers, the damage from a reputational attack can spread like a virus - often with grave commercial and personal consequences.
Schillings, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and K2 Global Consulting invite you to join our panel of experts to discuss these issues.
Due to the international nature of the seminar, we will be holding three separate events in New York, Washington, DC and London.
