Situations · Common situations · Cross-border complexity

Physical security, crises & sensitive events

Threats to people and operations, extortion, crises and reputational attacks. Usually for: companies, families, institutions.

If it is urgent. If anyone is in immediate danger, call the local emergency services first. If you have been arrested, raided, served with a court order or told you face removal from a country, speak to a qualified lawyer in that country straight away. WONE Global can then help bring in and coordinate the other professionals involved, subject to their availability.
