Financial Dynamics provides full-service communications counsel for developments such as corporate control contests, management changes, SEC and other regulatory action, shareholder and commercial-party litigation, employee or bias litigation and allegations of fraud and mismanagement.
For most new client assignments, we conduct a risk assessment and review of existing crisis preparedness plans (if any) to ascertain the scale of the communications strategy. In addition, FD is frequently retained separately by organizations to assist in the handling and support of specific crisis events, including class-action litigation, proxy fights, bankruptcy, or other matters. In fact, FD was widely recognized by three separate industry awards in 2003 for our handling of the arrest, trial, and incarceration of Steve Madden, founder of Steve Madden Ltd., a popular designer and retailer of high-fashion footwear and accessories. Furthermore, FD professionals were engaged by Cantor Fitzgerald immediately following the September 11th terrorist attacks to represent both the company and Howard Lutnick, its Chairman and CEO.
