About SMJ Partners
Based in Vienna, Austria, SMJ Partners is a specialised public relations firm that has built a strong reputation in the niche field of litigation PR. Founded in 2007, the agency was among the first in the German-speaking world to focus exclusively on the intersection of legal proceedings and communications. With its headquarters at 7 Grillparzerstrasse in Vienna, SMJ Partners serves clients navigating complex, high-stakes legal environments, often involving cross-border disputes and sensitive reputational threats.
Specialist Expertise in Litigation and Crisis Communication
SMJ Partners focuses on legal public relations, a discipline that requires a deep understanding of both legal strategy and media dynamics. The firm’s expertise covers litigation public relations, legal crisis monitoring, and crisis communication strategy, particularly for cases that attract significant public or media attention. The agency is well-known for its work in legal crisis consulting, helping clients manage the reputational fallout from lawsuits, investigations, or regulatory actions. This includes developing crisis response plans, managing stakeholder communication, and using reputation monitoring tools to track and mitigate risks. A distinctive aspect of SMJ Partners’ work involves cross-border litigation PR, where the firm coordinates communications across multiple jurisdictions, often working with law firms and in-house legal teams to ensure consistent messaging. The agency also addresses dark web risks communication, a growing concern for companies facing cyber threats or data breaches that could escalate into legal crises.

This membership enables SMJ Partners to offer clients fast, coordinated support in multiple markets, a critical advantage in cross-border litigation where timing and local expertise matter.
