Crisis Management and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Aside from its work assisting clients with all types of complex healthcare and corporate litigation or transaction matters in the United States and abroad, the Firm is widely and nationally recognized for its pioneering work in the field of Crisis Management. The Firm navigates through the many complexities of a business crisis and the impact they have on a client's personal and business reputation. Companies and professionals rely on the Firm's expertise in the courtroom as well as the court of public opinion. John and his Firm represent clients as trial counsel and during complex negotiations, and have the media and public affairs experience that allows them to manage high-profile investigations and other matters that involve a company or an individual's finances and public standing.

The Firm is also often brought in to advise, coordinate and manage outside counsel efforts in ongoing and complex litigation and negotiations.

Through his unique style as a proactive Crisis Manager, John and the Firm have created a niche in the Crisis Management industry with the Leon Crisis Leadership Model (P.R.E.P.A.R.E.), whose underlying philosophy has been written about extensively by both trade magazines and traditional media, for which they have coined the term Pre-Emptive Crisis Management. John was also invited to give a TEDTalk on the subject titled 'Life Lessons from a Crisis Manager,' which was one of the most viewed TEDTalks of 2024 with over 1 million views.
