Practice Areas & Industries: Bracewell & Giuliani LLP

Practice/Industry Group Overview

As a result of greater public interest and media scrutiny, legal disputes increasingly are being litigated as vigorously in the court of public opinion as they are in the courtroom. In conjunction with our litigation team, we develop communications strategies that illuminate our client’s position and garner understanding and support of key stakeholders and the public. These strategies are always tailored to the unique needs of the client facing litigation.

Representative Matters

We served as the chief strategist and defender before the media for refiners and petrochemical companies in more than 150 lawsuits relating to the MTBE fuel additive.

Our team has managed strategic communications during lawsuits against wind energy companies (relating to wind turbines) and electric power companies (relating to plant development and siting issues).

We have significant experience representing client interests in Supreme Court cases. Recently, our representation included writing an amicus brief and handling real-time media inquiries as chief spokespersons.

We have provided litigation support to Gemseal, a coalition of pavement sealing companies.
