Publication: Burlingtons Group Magazine

Reputation is everything, especially for those whose high-value business interests touch numerous jurisdictions across the globe. It is precisely these complex endeavors that are threatened when individuals face allegations that attempt to malign their reputation in the press. Kobre & Kim’s Polly Wilkins, who focuses her practice on reputational issues and crisis management for ultra-high net worth individuals, shared her thoughts for the Burlingtons Group Autumn 2021 Magazine about how quickly negative news coverage can escalate, resulting in compromised international asset structures or even investigations by government authorities.
