Additional text

'Shapira elegantly bridges the divide between academia and practice. This book powerfully speaks to the way in which law and reputation interact and shape each other, and brilliantly captures the important notion of reputation as a driver rather than just an outcome of litigation.' Rupert Younger, Director, Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation
