GLIMPSE

We are involved in crisis management and emergency response for clients from various sectors of activity. Depending on the requirements of the situation, we mobilize specialized intervention teams composed of lawyers from the relevant fields, as well as professionals such as accident reconstruction experts, independent claims adjusters, private investigators, engineers specializing in technical diagnostics, public relations specialists and other consultants.

Team members are typically deployed on-site or strategically located within the first few hours of a critical incident or notification. They remain fully engaged throughout the investigation and, if necessary, during subsequent litigation.

Rapid response to major threats

Our lawyers ensure a rapid, structured and coordinated response to critical situations, such as:

Critical Incidents

ABG&CJ intervenes in sensitive high-risk internal investigations, which can expose a company to significant reputational and financial damage. We also support our clients upstream by setting up training programs, helping to identify risks, as well as preparing preventive action plans to reduce exposure to possible incidents.

Catastrophic events

We provide comprehensive and timely support in the event of disasters such as private aviation or rail transport accidents, collisions involving heavy trucks or buses, incidents related to elevators or escalators, factory explosions and collapses of buildings or structures.

Responding effectively to crisis situations

Business leaders must constantly maintain a delicate balance between achieving ambitious goals and managing the risks that come with them. However, even the strongest strategies can be shaken by a crisis that jeopardizes the organization's operational momentum, customer confidence or financial fundamentals.

ABG & CJ knows how to quickly mobilize a team that is perfectly equipped to deal with an emerging crisis. In the hours following the event, we carry out field interventions aimed at gathering key information, witness testimonies, evidence, and anticipating the investigative issues as well as potential defense strategies in the event of a legal proceeding. We conduct targeted interviews, assess the facts, identify potential criminal defence needs, regulatory compliance issues, security breaches or probable causes.

Geographical responsiveness

When necessary, we accompany our clients before regulatory authorities, the media or the public, whether in Quebec, elsewhere in Canada or internationally. We offer a constant presence and sound advice throughout the crisis management process.
