Honorees on our inaugural guide include Mack Jenkins (Hecker Fink), Lucy Blake (Jenner & Block) and Kobi Brinson (Winston & Strawn).

We’re honored to introduce The Lawdragon 500 Global Leaders in Crisis Management.

For what would 2025 be without a guide devoted to what will almost certainly be the word of the year?

We conceived this guide in calmer times, looking to highlight the rising convergence in law practice and strategy of increased oversight in a global environment; enhanced communications providing levers in litigation, deals and elsewhere; and a rising skill set in proficiency and technology that can enhance the optics of almost any situation.

The 500 lawyers and communication consultants recognized here range from the most seasoned Washington, D.C. Beltway insiders to former prosecutors known for high-profile trials as well as oversight of vast federal agencies. They include onetime TV correspondents, dealmakers who increasingly rely on crisis skills in activist or uncertain environments, and a managing partner or 20.

Mack E. Jenkins led the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for California’s Central District, the largest office in the country serving 20 million people. He led the prosecution of billionaires, politicians, real estate developers and the corrupt LADWP web. He was a federal prosecutor for 17 years before that, handling cybercrime, cryptocurrency, kleptocracy, human trafficking and domestic terrorism. In February, he joined the newly established Los Angeles office of Hecker Fink, the upstart New York firm fusing public interest impact litigation with an array of advisory and trial work at the highest levels of the profession – not to mention among the most sensitive.

Lucy Blake co-chairs Jenner’s Human Rights and Global Strategy practice from London. She spent a decade at Linklaters, where she amassed significant experience in investigations, crisis management and litigation. She also served for six years on the Board of Directors of Amnesty International UK, amidst a high-profile investigation into workplace culture. Her takeaway was insight into executives’ priorities during crisis and the importance of gaining shareholders’ trust to build back better. She helps clients manage claims of wrongdoing – whether bribery, fraud, money laundering or non-financial misdeeds. Too, she helps clients address toxic workplace cultures and risks arising from human rights and climate impacts in companies’ supply chains.

Kobi Kennedy Brinson co-chairs Winston & Strawn’s Financial Services Industry Group in Charlotte. She got her start in trial skills as a public defender, rising through the in-house ranks at Wells Fargo and Bank of America, where she was Senior Vice President and Assistant General Counsel overseeing financial litigation and investigations. She joined Winston in 2014, and defends financial services and other clients in government regulatory enforcement inquiries and investigations, as well as class action litigation.

We chose this 500 through our time-honed methodology of journalistic research, robust submissions and vetting with peers, clients and others. Those denoted with an asterisk are members of our Hall of Fame.
