Spear’s Review

Litigation PR expert James Lynch guides clients through the communications side of sensitive and high-profile criminal and civil proceedings. ‘The work we do is media-focused a lot of the time, but there is [also] a lot of background work that I do in terms of building a strong factual basis for our clients,’ Lynch tells Spear’s.

His firm, Maltin PR, brings together former journalists, barristers and solicitors to provide precise and ‘forensic’ advice to their clients, who have included billionaires, corporations and celebrities.

Au fait with international PR challenges, Lynch remains unfazed when clients’ reputational struggles play out amid geopolitical tensions. ‘Media pressure is always quite intense on some HNW individuals and big companies in particular, and when you haven’t dealt with that – and a lot of individuals haven’t, because they choose to be quite private – they appreciate the calmness that we are able to bring.’
