Crisis Management & Risk Mitigation

Our best result is that no one knows how well we did our job -- because no one never found out about your crisis.

Deep Crisis Management Experience

Your world could change in a minute. Whether it’s a subpoena, a call from an investigative journalist, or a knock at your door, Levin & Associates knows crisis management and risk mitigation. Duncan Levin, the managing partner of Levin & Associates, has seen it all and knows the importance of tackling these issues head on and with haste. He has been praised in the media for his decades of practice as an “experienced and respected” lawyer, “prominent” in this field.

Delicate, urgent situations require critical thinking — as well as a deep rolodex. A team approach is often urgently needed and can, at times, involve experienced investigators, public relations professionals, corporate representatives, and other specialists. Duncan Levin is a renowned defense attorney who has deep experience in leading the response to urgent and complex issues.  Crisis communication expert Juda Engelmayer hailed Duncan Levin as “an effective litigator and brilliant defense attorney and strategist. He senses the legal pulse, understands the public pulse, and knows how to manage both to help his clients achieve the optimum results for their individual situations.”

Network of Expertise

As we all know, unpredictable events with significant consequences can arise at any moment. These sudden and often negative situations need to be handled immediately to limit any unforeseeable damages that can incur. A successful crisis management plan is not a “one size fits all” strategy. Each potential crisis can be very different in nature from the next depending on the variables at play. Regardless, every issue needs to be looked at carefully and dissected individually for the best possible outcome.

Solutions Beyond The Courtroom

Our approach can extend beyond the courtroom. We have built a network of advisors and professionals who specialize in crisis management and have a proven track record of solving complicated issues in high-profile settings. Through our experience, we deploy legal strategies quickly and seamlessly to assist our clients in their time of crisis.

Levin & Associates utilizes our communication skills, media management expertise, and legal prowess to manage crises on multiple fronts. The firm is committed to helping our clients navigate not only the complexities of the legal system but also the media as a whole in a productive manner.
