Reputation Matters: A Practical Legal Guide to Managing Reputation Risk

Reputation matters more than ever in our connected global economy. Intangible but invaluable, a good reputation has the capacity to enhance business and competitive advantage. Conversely, reputation damage can negatively impact earnings, profitability, market share and recruitment and retention. Reputation risk management is, therefore, a concern that every business needs to prioritise. Written by Tracey Walker, partner of national law firm Simpson Grierson, this book is a practical guide for New Zealand lawyers in private practice, corporate counsel, communications managers and public relations practitioners. It explains legal issues relating to reputation management and protection, covers key aspects of the law and corporate communication, and provides tips on how to avoid communication pitfalls to minimise legal risk.
