We have extensive experience supporting clients in private and public markets with M&A events, ensuring critical transactions are successful executed with the full support of all shareholders and stakeholders involved.

Cyber risk, driven by continuous activity from sophisticated threat actors, remains one of the most material concerns for CEOs and boards. Should a breach happen, our research shows what matters next is how stakeholders find out. Hearing about a breach via media or third parties causes far greater reputational damage. Our cyber threat experience and purpose-built disclosure procedures address regulatory obligations, duty of care and reputational impacts.

Regulation underpins resilient organisations and trusted markets. We support clients in anticipating, preparing for, and responding to regulatory attention by strengthening governance, controls, and decision‑making under pressure. We help organisations engage confidently with regulators through clear accountability, proportionate controls, and disciplined communications, ensuring responses are credible, consistent, and aligned with regulatory expectations as they evolve.

When mishandled or misjudged, employment matters can undermine organisational capability and confidence. We help clients assess risk early, structure investigations and outcomes appropriately, support leadership through difficult decisions, and manage internal and external communications to demonstrate accountability, protect stakeholders, and restore confidence.

We offer deep financial sector expertise and understanding of regulatory, sector and customer dynamics, which makes Phronesis a clear choice to help our clients build more resilient reputations linked to their desired commercial outcomes.

We’re uniquely equipped to work with partnership led professional services organisations, having helped navigate the greatest challenges facing this sector.

We support clients in atypical events that threaten their existence. This includes established capability and sector expertise in Voluntary Administrations, as well as experience in hostile campaigns for distressed assets.

Litigation is a catalyst for business value, and we have experience managing and mitigating the reputation outcomes of these scenarios. We’ve acted as the defence advisors for organisations facing regulatory action as well as supporting with proactive litigation communication advisory for initiating organisations across a range of matters.

We have supported organisations facing significant governance reform and have helped to establish and implement reforms to support the reputation resolution of governance crises.

A company’s entire existence can be put at risk when products fail. We have helped manage no-notice product failures, recalls and other key moments for companies facing a crisis in confidence in their products and services.
