The Crisis Management Team at Barton LLP comprises attorneys with expertise in these areas, and we will endeavor to provide suggestions for planning and business reviews to reduce these risks in the calmer light of knowing what they are and how they can be managed.

Barton, Kenneth Rashbaum, Scott Grubin, Marc Dedman, and Philip Mortensen.
