In today’s globalised and digitised society, organisations of all sizes face a wide range of potential crises. These may arise from geopolitical tensions, climate risks, national security interests, and the continuous development of regulations at both national and international levels. In addition, managing reputational risk has evolved into a complex and unpredictable challenge as public perception is no longer shaped solely by traditional media outlets.
We believe that an essential part of successful crisis management begins with preparation. Therefore, it is vital that a company’s board and management undertake a strategic approach to risk management and crisis preparedness. Thommessen assists boards, executive teams and legal departments in identifying, understanding, and taking ownership of the company’s risk profile. This preparation better equips the organization to anticipate, prevent, and manage potential crises more effectively. If a crisis does occur, we help the company deal with the immediate situation while also ensuring that decisions made under pressure do not compromise long-term success.

We provide rapid and effective assistance with a range of services, such as risk exposure assessment, implementation of preventive or damage-mitigating measures, and management of the situation at both strategic and operational levels. Across the firm, we have a deep understanding of various industries, regulatory frameworks and public authorities. We also have experience from different government agencies.
