Why professional services firms work with us

Advisory, legal, accountancy and consulting firms sell expertise and judgement. Clients choose them because they trust the people. That trust is built long before a pitch, through the views a firm’s partners share in the press, the research it publishes and the consistency of its reputation. Our professional services PR is designed to build exactly that.

  • Partner and leadership profiling so that your experts are the ones quoted on the issues your clients care about.
  • Thought leadership on regulation, deal activity, market conditions and the questions your clients are asking.
  • Deal and mandate announcements handled with the discretion and accuracy the sector requires.
  • Research campaigns that give your firm original data on your market.

M&A and corporate advisory

We work with LAVA Advisory Partners, an M&A adviser, on its communications across the UK and its US launch. The work combines deal announcements, commentary on the mid-market and profiling of the partners, and it has taught us how to write about transactions in a way that satisfies both the firm and its clients. Read what working with M&A advisory has taught us about PR.

Legal and accountancy

Law and accountancy firms have a constant flow of opportunities for expert comment: legislation, case law, tax changes and regulatory deadlines. A reactive desk built around your practice areas keeps your partners visible in the trade and national press without the firm having to generate its own news.

How we work with firms

Professional services firms usually have several potential spokespeople and complex approval processes. We map practice areas to topics, agree a small group of spokespeople and streamline sign-off so that comment can be issued while it is still relevant.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work within our firm's compliance and client confidentiality requirements?

Yes. We agree what can and cannot be discussed publicly at the start, and all deal-related communication is approved by the firm and, where required, its clients before release.

Which publications do you work with for professional services?

The Financial Times, The Times, City AM and national business desks, plus trade and practice titles such as The Lawyer, Legal Week, Accountancy Age, Economia and M&A and private equity media.

Do you profile individual partners or the firm?

Both. Individual profiling builds the firm's reputation through its people, and firm-level thought leadership and research make the brand more than the sum of its partners.
