"Media scrutiny is intensifying almost every week. Every year the bar is also rising on community and political expectations... There's both the court of law and the court of public opinion and my philosophy is that the PR strategy has to be in lockstep with the legal strategy. The two can co-exist and support each other" Liam Cox has his finger on the pulse of our society. He knows the zeitgeist of our time and how to cut through a media storm to effectively communicate a message. We work with Liam extensively at BlackBay Lawyers because we know that high profile clients are not just being judged in the court of law but also in the court of public opinion. It was such a pleasure to get a glimpse into his brain and learn from his tried and tested strategies. Very keen to release the rest of the snippets from this interview.
