Areas of Focus

Strategic Communications

Holder Partners advises companies, boards, senior executives and counsel on the communications, reputational and stakeholder dimensions surrounding complex matters, periods of significant change and important opportunities.

Communications shape how decisions are understood and how stakeholders respond. We help clients assess the circumstances, identify the audiences and relationships most relevant to their objectives, and set a clear direction for communications and engagement. Our counsel draws on the firm’s capabilities in investigations, disputes, cybersecurity, due diligence and risk advisory.

Areas of counsel

Complex Situations & Crisis Communications

From preparedness through response and recovery, we help clients assess a developing situation, establish communications priorities and coordinate timely stakeholder updates. We work alongside legal counsel and internal teams to keep communications grounded in verified facts and aligned as circumstances evolve.

Transactions & Transformational Change Communications

We help leadership teams plan communications around M&A, investments, divestitures, restructurings, leadership transitions and market entry, aligning messages and engagement with business objectives, transaction timing and applicable obligations.

Corporate Reputation & Executive Positioning

We help organizations and senior leaders clarify what they want to be known for, then translate that position into a clear corporate narrative, executive communications and targeted content.

Stakeholder Strategy & Engagement

We identify the stakeholders most relevant to a client’s objectives, understand their interests and influence, and develop a practical plan for engaging them.
