Hennes Communications Again Ranked Among Top U.S. Crisis PR Firms by Chambers and Partners
For the third consecutive year, Hennes Communications has been named one of the top U.S. crisis communications firms by Chambers and Partners, the world’s leading independent legal research and rankings organization. Hennes Communications is one of only 20 communications consultancies in the United States included in the prestigious 2025 Chambers Crisis & Risk Management guide.
Unlike consumer-facing legal directories, Chambers and Partners bases its rankings on extensive independent research, interviews, client references and a rigorous evaluation of expertise. The Chambers process is regarded by the legal profession as the gold standard for professional rankings.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from the legal community itself—attorneys and corporate counsel who know the level of scrutiny that Chambers applies,” said Bruce Hennes, chief executive officer of Hennes Communications. “It also speaks to the vital role that communications plays in matters tried in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.”
Managing partner Thom Fladung added: “For those of us who work shoulder-to-shoulder with legal counsel on complex, high-stakes matters, being ranked by Chambers sends a clear signal of credibility and trustworthiness. We’re honored to again be included.”
In addition to the firm’s ranking, both Hennes and Fladung received individual recognition in the 2025 guide.
Founded in 1989, Chambers and Partners rankings are widely used by general counsel and corporate decision-makers in more than 70 countries to identify the best legal partners. The Crisis & Risk Management guide recognizes a small number of communications consultancies whose work directly supports legal strategy and protects reputation in litigation, regulatory and other sensitive matters.
As one of the few communications firms in North America focused on crisis and reputational risk, Hennes Communications works extensively with law firms, in-house counsel, corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare organizations and nonprofits.
“Having a seat at the table with legal counsel is a responsibility we never take lightly,” Hennes said. “Our strategies directly impact client reputation, stakeholder trust, employee confidence and even legal outcomes. This ranking affirms the value of that work.”
