Our Crisis Response division specialises in reacting to incidents of kidnap, extortion and illegal detention and specific threats to do harm to our clients and their business operations. Our experience includes reacting to work place violence and active assailant situations, searching for missing persons and evacuating personnel exposed to political violence and natural disaster.
Acting within the law and with an understanding of public policy issues, we aim to secure the safe release of hostages and the removal of any threats in such a way that does not detract from our clients’ reputation, operations, strategies and plans.
We operate worldwide providing immediate response with linguistic support. Our team of specialists is supported by forensic psychologists, behavioural profilers, forensic linguists, work place violence experts and post-traumatic stress counsellors.
Our clients include multinational corporations in all sectors, government and non-profit organisations, including media companies, sporting teams, celebrities and families. We are the exclusive provider of crisis response services to holders of Special Risks insurance written by Tokio Marine HCC.
