The oil, gas, chemicals and utility sector - particularly the oil industry - has been at the forefront of crisis management best practice for decades. And for good reason. It is a sector with a history of very public crises - some handled well, some handled poorly.

Regester Larkin counts many of the world's largest companies in the oil, gas, utilities and chemicals sectors among its clients and works closely with a number of related industry bodies and organisations.

We have advised our clients through most of the UK's major oil-sector crises including the Milford Haven and Shetland Island oil spills and - most recently - the Buncefield Oil Depot explosion in December 2005.

And, drawing on our vast experience and expertise in this sector, Regester Larkin helps companies with complex and often controversial industry and company-specific issues such as contamination, regulatory change, quality problems and pricing.

But this is a sector that does not need an issue or a crisis to be controversial. Its very existence, power and profits make it a sector that faces consistent threats to reputation. We therefore advise our clients on how to manage and enhance reputation through good performance, good communication and good initiatives.
