Consulting and Crisis Management Attorneys in D.C.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, a single crisis—whether internal or external—can threaten your company’s operations, reputation, and bottom line. From workplace investigations and high-stakes employment disputes to government scrutiny and reputational damage, how you respond in the critical first days can shape your future for years to come.
At The Mundaca Law Firm, we provide strategic consulting and crisis management services to businesses, nonprofits, and government-affiliated entities across Washington, D.C. We combine sharp legal insight with real-world business acumen to guide our clients through moments of high pressure, high visibility, and high risk.
Strategic Legal Counsel in High-Stakes Situations
A crisis doesn’t always begin with breaking news—it can start with a phone call, an internal complaint, a viral post, or a knock at the door from a regulatory agency. When the stakes are high, your next move is critical.
We help clients respond quickly, decisively, and lawfully to:
- Internal employee complaints or allegations
- Claims of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation
- Government audits or investigations
- Executive misconduct
- Whistleblower reports
- Employment disputes with media attention
- Cybersecurity and data breach issues
- Contractual breakdowns with key vendors or partners
- Reputational threats and PR crises
Our firm provides both behind-the-scenes advice and front-line legal representation, helping businesses remain compliant, protect their interests, and maintain public trust.
Internal Investigations and Workplace Reviews
When an employee raises serious concerns—such as discrimination, retaliation, or ethical misconduct—it’s essential to conduct a prompt, impartial, and thorough internal investigation. Improper handling of such complaints can result in legal liability, reputational harm, and employee turnover.
The Mundaca Law Firm conducts independent internal investigations that prioritize objectivity and discretion. We:
- Interview witnesses and review documentation
- Assess legal risks and potential violations
- Provide clear, confidential findings and legal recommendations
- Support businesses in implementing corrective measures
Whether you need assistance navigating the investigation process or conducting one from start to finish, we offer flexible support that protects both your people and your organization.
Regulatory Response and Government Inquiries
Washington, D.C. is home to a complex patchwork of federal and local regulations—and many of our clients operate in highly scrutinized sectors, from government contracting to nonprofit advocacy. A single inquiry from a federal agency, such as the EEOC or DOL, can escalate quickly if not handled correctly.
We help businesses respond to:
- Agency audits and compliance checks
- Charges of discrimination, retaliation, or wage violations
- Whistleblower complaints and protected activity investigations
- Requests for records or subpoenas
- Settlement discussions and enforcement actions
Our attorneys know how to engage with regulators while safeguarding your organization’s legal standing and reputation.
Employment and Executive Crises
Key leadership transitions, allegations against top executives, and conflicts among stakeholders can disrupt daily operations and pose serious reputational risks. We provide confidential legal advice on:
- Executive departures or internal disputes
- Board governance and fiduciary duty issues
- Leadership conduct reviews
- Crisis communications strategy in tandem with PR teams
- Severance agreements and non-disclosure arrangements
Our goal is to protect your organization while allowing you to manage sensitive situations with confidence and professionalism.
Crisis Communication and Media Strategy Support
Legal issues often overlap with reputational ones. In high-profile matters, we collaborate with your communications team or external PR firm to ensure that legal strategy and messaging are aligned.
We advise on:
- Public statements and internal communications
- Responses to media inquiries
- Legal risks associated with public messaging
- Minimizing liability while managing public perception
As your legal partner, we focus on the law—but we understand how reputational and operational factors influence your success.

- Policy development and legal compliance reviews
- Leadership training on discrimination, harassment, and retaliation laws
