Commercial & organisational
Business disruption, ownership or stakeholder conflict, director risk and significant disputes.
Crisis Management
Ongoing strategic protection for connected threats.
A continuing relationship designed to protect a defined personal, commercial or organisational position when risks do not sit neatly within one matter.
Continuing protected scope
The Crisis model
See the whole position.
When business, personal, regulatory and reputational pressures connect, isolated responses can create further exposure.
SQN helps protect stability and position, identify and contain threats, coordinate appropriate responses and maintain disciplined decision-making across a clearly defined scope.
Connected pressures
One structure across changing risk.
The protected position may involve a combination of pressures requiring coordinated oversight.
Personal & reputational
Personal exposure, family or ownership pressures and threats to reputation or position.
Regulatory & financial
Regulatory, tax, fraud-related or other specialist issues requiring an organised response.
Continuing oversight
Contain. Coordinate. Decide.
Crisis Management keeps the strategic picture live as facts change and new issues emerge within the agreed scope.
Protect stability
Understand what must be preserved and where the real exposure sits.
Identify threats
Surface connected risks before fragmented responses compound them.
Coordinate response
Align the right professionals, instructions and actions.
Maintain discipline
Keep decisions coherent under pressure and through change.
Linked Matters
When one challenge develops into another, you should not have to start again.
If a specific dispute, investigation or other significant matter develops during your Crisis relationship, SQN can bring it into the wider strategy and establish the right structure around it. Assessing the position, shaping the route forward and coordinating the specialists needed.
As a Crisis client, you also benefit from reduced SQN internal fees when a linked matter needs to become a separate case. Because your consultancy already gives SQN an established understanding of your wider position, objectives and risks, we can build from that existing foundation, giving you both a commercial advantage and a more connected route into the new matter.
The result is a connected response: the new matter is managed in context, the right expertise is brought in, costs and progression remain controlled, and the wider position SQN is protecting stays at the centre of the strategy.
A wider strategic need
When the problem is bigger than one case.
Tell SQN what is changing, what must be protected and where the immediate pressure sits.
