Burson London recognised by Chambers and Partners 2026 for Crisis & Risk Management and Litigation Support

London - June 2026 - Burson, the global communications agency purpose-built to create value for clients through reputation, today announced that Burson London has been ranked by Chambers and Partners 2026 in both Crisis & Risk Management and Litigation Support - a significant milestone for its Corporate and Public Affairs team and an endorsement of the counsel it provides to clients when reputation matters most. This follows Burson's standout success at Cannes Lions last week, winning PR Agency of the Year and the PR Lions Grand Prix in Crisis Communications & Issues Management.

At Burson, Reputation is Earned - through the decisions organisations make, the actions they take and the confidence they build over time. This ranking reflects the expertise, judgement and commitment Burson London's teams bring to helping clients navigate crisis situations, complex disputes, regulatory scrutiny, reputational risk and high-stakes corporate moments.

Chambers and Partners is a globally respected research and rankings organisation for specialist advisory, legal and disputes services. Its recognition reflects the breadth and depth of Burson London's offer across crisis communications, geopolitical advisory, reputation management, public affairs, stakeholder engagement, litigation communications and strategic risk counsel.

Burson London supports organisations across the full risk lifecycle: anticipating and pressure-testing emerging issues, building preparedness and resilience, managing live crises at speed, and helping to rebuild reputation once the immediate pressure has passed. In litigation and disputes communications, Burson works alongside in-house teams and external legal counsel to help clients manage communications strategy, media scrutiny, stakeholder expectations and reputational risk before, during and after sensitive proceedings. In crisis and risk management, it brings together corporate affairs, public affairs, political and geopolitical counsel, financial communications, resilience planning, data-led insight and real-time monitoring to support informed decisions under pressure.

Caroline Winters, Head of CPA, Burson London, said: "Being recognised by Chambers and Partners in both Crisis & Risk Management and Litigation Support is an important milestone for our London Corporate and Public Affairs team. It demonstrates the success and growth of a multidisciplinary team that brings together corporate affairs, public affairs, geopolitical expertise, financial communications, litigation communications, crisis response, resilience planning and data-led insight. This ranking reflects the expertise we have built to help clients navigate complex regulatory, political, legal and reputational challenges with clarity, confidence and resilience."
