Crisis Management

Clayton has helped hundreds of corporations, non-governmental organizations and families manage security-related crises. As a leading crisis management firm, we specialize in the prevention and resolution of:

• Kidnaps for Ransom
• Extortion
• Malicious Product Tampering
• Wrongful Detention

Clayton prefers a geographic distribution that gives our team highly detailed region- and country-specific familiarity and deploys from more than a dozen countries. A firm grasp of cultural nuances aid in breaking through barriers that ordinarily hinder a successful outcome.

An expert with in-depth knowledge of the language, culture and criminal patterns of the region has a distinct advantage when identifying, assessing and implementing crisis resolution strategies. In Latin America, where over 50% of kidnaps for ransom occur, Clayton deploys fully bilingual consultants. Strategically pre-positioned around the world, our trained, multi-national response team can be on the ground providing critical case support within a few hours to most countries and less than 48 hours for more remote locations.

By bringing a wealth of professional experience to bear on each case we are able to recognize continually evolving threats. Our team know kidnappings, the environments that give rise to them and the mindset of those who perpetrate them, vastly improving their ability to develop and implement successful negotiation strategies. Choose experience, focus and local understanding.
