Natural Disaster

How a corporation responds to a major natural disaster can directly affect the nature and level of liability it may face in the event's aftermath. Yet many corporations have not adequately considered liability management and asset protection as part of their contingency planning for specific disaster events, and, as a result, these corporations are leaving themselves exposed to potential litigation and financial loss.

We also help clients assemble in-house emergency response teams that are prepared for quick and appropriate action at a moment's notice.
