We have written at the chief executive, chief financial officer and general counsel levels on business strategy, financial issues, public policy and science and medicine for the better part of three decades.

We synthesize internal views so that clients (a) have a credible, sustainable point of view and (b) advance their business objectives.

In many of our assignments, we have worked with research and analytics firms to bring a deeper level of intellectual rigor to the development of strategy. These include:

• A multi-year program to reposition a major global company as an innovative leader and enhance its visibility with investors through management changes, divestitures, redeployment of capital and expansion into emerging markets.
• Communications advice and support during the global financial crisis, and its aftermath, for a company at the center of the turmoil; communicated with policymakers, regulators, media and employees.
• Long-term defense of prominent pharmaceutical medicine facing intense, worldwide negative publicity over alleged safety issues.
• Advice and support on multi-billion-dollar transactions in the pharmaceutical, life sciences, banking, consumer products and real estate industries, among others. Led editorial teams.
• Advice to international oil company facing inquiries related to possible violations of U.S. federal laws.
• Scientific and medical presentations to elevate the R&D and pipeline profile of pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
• Worldwide rollout in 40 countries of the most visible and controversial pharmaceutical medicine ever launched.
• Response plans for high profile executive compensation issues that drew scrutiny from political leaders, Wall Street and the relevant regulatory authorities.
• Strategy and media outreach for a software and services company facing an investigation of its accounting practices which led to removal of management, settlement of charges and sale of the company.

We hope, and expect, to work on our clients’ toughest business issues, and we bring to the table the level of intensity – and discretion – these issues deserve. We define our success by the trust our clients place in us.
