Pleon C-Matrix advises on PR relating to legal cases

 The Pleon C-Matrix agency now also offers its clients advice on communication in legal disputes. Litigation PR covers press and public relations work during legal disputes. This can involve trademark, copyright, competition or patent law, for example. Product recalls or voluntary withdrawals are also often associated with the risk of a legal dispute or a lawsuit, according to a statement from the agency. If a court case cannot be avoided, it must be accompanied by the right communication strategy, as damage to the company's image cannot be ruled out, it continues. Companies involved in legal disputes are increasingly making the painful experience that it is not facts but preconceived opinions that are important. Ulrike Weber has joined the Litigation PR department. The 33-year-old lawyer completed her legal training in Tübingen, Munich and Leiden (Netherlands) and is also a qualified PR consultant. In addition to litigation PR, she will support Pleon's clients primarily in the automotive sector. Weber worked for six years as a press officer in the Global Communications department at DaimlerChrysler headquarters.
