Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 2
)
Being Named in a Lawsuit
You should issue a press release in response to being named in a lawsuit. This allows you to put your own 'spin' on what could be negative publicity. In most cases, you are better off to go public with your side of the story rather than remain mum, but it will depend on the specific circumstances. Consult with your attorney to determine what you can and cannot say. If you don't feel comfortable issuing this type of release on your own, there are agencies that specialize in 'crisis management' situations such as this.
Press Releases: Responding to a Lawsuit
It's important to issue a press release if your company is named in a lawsuit, especially if the suit is likely to become public knowledge. This lets you put your own "spin" on what could potentially be negative publicity for you. Be sure to consult with your attorney to determine what you can and cannot say. Some public relations firms specialize in crisis management and will prepare this type of release for you if you don't feel comfortable doing so on your own.
