Expertise

Full-suite communications support. Specialist expertise.

Research is at the heart of our work. We compile evidence and data from bespoke polling, focus groups and online analysis to inform our strategy – so our advice is always based on what will achieve results, not just what has been done before. 

We draw on the full suite of communications services to advance your strategic goals. This includes traditional media and social media management; digital campaigns; profile and reputation management; and stakeholder engagement.

Thorndon Partners provides specialist crisis support. The team has expertise in scenario planning, risk mitigation, media management, and executive counsel at the most senior level. For rapid crisis support, contact us here.

Litigation & Disputes

Recognised leaders in specialist litigation communications, we have advised on many of the highest-value and highest-profile disputes of the past ten years. Our boutique practice is conflict-free and can move quickly.

Multi-jurisdictional litigation: Strategy and communications for cases spanning multiple jurisdictions; experience includes the London High Courts, ICJ, ECHR and CJEU.

International arbitration: Strategy, narrative, and (as needed) media relations, including enforcement and challenges.

Class actions: Industry-leaders in both defence and claimant side (opt-in and -out), working from origination and launch to distribution. 

Research and evidence: Quantitative and qualitative  research to submit into evidence and inform the legal strategy.

Regulatory investigations: Preparation for enquiry appearances; stakeholder strategies; media relations.

Global Affairs & Social Impact

We develop strategies and campaigns that drive change on global issues — creating narratives that cut through polarisation and build trust and engagement from critical audiences.

Philanthropies and foundations: Global campaigns to raise awareness of critical challenges; create a platform for change leaders; support advocacy effort and drive change; crisis and issues management.

Multinational corporations and organisations: Seamlessly integrate with existing communications structures to expand global footprint, connect with new audience, provide specialist advice to C-Suite.

Governments and institutions: Build global profiles to support economic or diplomatic goals; capacity building and training.

Sports organisations & social impact:  We are deeply embedded in sports intersections with politics, litigation, finance, international relations, and sports diplomacy, helping leaders and organisations transcend boundaries to drive meaningful change.
