How does Five Blocks work with legal teams?
Closely. We coordinate with in-house and outside counsel on sensitive engagements, aligning narrative with legal strategy and supporting legitimate removal channels where they apply.
Legal coordination is built into how we operate on sensitive engagements, and the closer the coordination, the better the outcomes for both workstreams. We routinely sit on joint calls with general counsel and outside firms, align narrative pacing with litigation timing, share factual research that informs both legal and reputation strategy, and support legitimate legal escalation paths (defamation analysis, takedown requests under specific statutory or platform-policy grounds, regulatory communications). The lines we do not cross are the obvious ones: we do not edit Wikipedia in ways that would compromise an active legal matter, we do not push content that misrepresents factual positions counsel is asserting, and we do not undertake removal work that requires legal authority we do not have. Most engagements that involve counsel are stronger for the coordination than they would be running parallel.
