About Andrea Christman

When a high-profile case hits the news, or a crisis threatens your firm\'s reputation, you need a communications partner who speaks legal—not just PR.I\'ve spent my career helping lawyers speak business and business professionals understand lawyers. As Managing Director at Poston Communications, a Chambers-ranked Top 20 crisis and litigation PR firm, I work with law firms, general counsel, and professional services leaders to protect reputations, manage media narratives, and build rapid-response communications strategies that hold up under legal scrutiny.With 20+ years of experience embedded in the legal industry—including 15+ years inside AmLaw firms—I understand how litigation strategy and public narrative intersect. I know what a managing partner needs to hear, what a trial team can and can\'t say, and how to move fast without making the legal situation worse.What I help clients with: • Crisis communications planning and rapid response • Litigation PR strategy and media management during trials • Reputation protection for law firms and their clients • Media training for litigators, partners, and executives • Thought leadership and business development communicationsIf your firm is navigating a high-stakes situation or building a crisis playbook before you need one, let\'s connect: c••••••••@postoncommunications.com
