| Successful investment needs smarts, and counsel are at the top of the list.

​

It is fairly rare for a communications advisor to also hold a law degree, but what can we say? Our founder does. At Relational, we have sat alongside counsel, found elegant compliance workarounds, and occasionally navigated out of a crucible with them.  We've developed campaigns to respond to (and politely out-maneuver) lawyerly politicians, too. We're comfortable in this mode.

 

We also understand the business. We've shaped fast and powerful firms' sprawling communications programs, and understand the formula. We are efficient with listings and awards management, practice building, plugging into business development processes, and know how to frame CSR (pro bono) initiatives.

 

True, there is only so much to say externally about clients or matters, but we excavate thematic value and have brought niche practices to mainstream eyes through PR and content assets, while successfully framing up transaction work and outcomes when they do come to public light. We also advise on brand, digital presence and copy for boutique firms growing fast.

​

Nothing in investment is more than half a step from a legal question: be it regulation, sustainability, cyber and data issues, capital structuring, consumer protection, or deal advisory and litigation in the conventional sense. Not just big cases or politicized issues, game changes often lay in the piping and deal work creativity.

 

This is the savvy that deserves visibility and recognition. Relational knows how.
