Litigation communications is the practice of managing public narrative and reputation around a lawsuit or legal dispute, working in tight coordination with legal counsel. It governs what a company can say when "no comment" cedes the story and over-talking creates legal exposure — shaping the narrative around filings, rulings, and settlements. The discipline recognizes that cases are tried in the court of public opinion as well as the courtroom, and that reputational outcomes can matter as much as legal ones.
