    HW Partner Thomas J. Jennings to speak at PRSA International Conference

    Conference

    The Court of Law v. The Court of Public Opinion

    Monday, October 28, 2013

    Philadelphia Marriott Downtown
    1201 Market St.
    Philadelphia, Pa.


    11:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

    The panel will address this proposition:

    Most actions taken and decisions made by an organization have a public relationship component to them. Stakeholder groups -- be they internal or external -- will be affected in some way.  Most actions or decisions have a legal component which is not always evident.  The public relationship considerations can sometimes be overshadowed by legal considerations -- unless legal counsel and management have experienced (or been educated about) the potential ramifications of a legal strategy that does not consider both.
