Reflections:

• Early, discreet engagement can control narrative and reduce exposure.
• Board and insurer expectations favour clear reporting and governance-aligned strategy.

• Forensic review of financial and digital evidence; pressure-test the theory of the brief.
• Negotiate where appropriate; keep communications board-level and outcome-focused.
