Sitrick And Company has consistently been ranked among the nation’s top strategic communications firms. Founded in 1989 by Michael S. Sitrick, Chairman and CEO, the firm has clients from the public and private sector as well as high-profile individuals. The New York Times called us, “The City’s Most Prominent Crisis Management Firm.”We have offices in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Denver.Sitrick And Company focuses on corporate, financial, transactional, reputational and crisis communications. While the firm has a substantial practice in each of these areas, it is best known for its work in sensitive, make-or-break situations. The firm is a leader in crisis management of all types, including litigation support of all types, data breaches, product recalls, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and in-and-out of court restructurings. (The firm has done approximately 400 Chapter 11s over the past 27 years.) Clients include public and private companies – from those in the Fortune 100 to start-ups — as well as government agencies and high-profile individuals in business, sports, entertainment and politics. While the firm is known for its placement and shaping of some of the nation’s most important news stories, giving it access to the media that few firms can rival, perhaps even more telling are those that never show up in the media – traditional or digital – the result of Sitrick And Company having achieved the much more difficult task of keeping clients out of the news.
