Mr. Smith’s many high-profile crisis and litigation engagements include the Catholic Church scandal, the Napster litigation, and the Rosie O'Donnell Rosie magazine lawsuit. His countless articles have appeared in publications on three continents.

Among his books, Inside/Outside: How Businesses Buy Legal Services, published by American Lawyer Media, was highly praised by C-Suite readers and corporate counsel alike. In its wealth of example and analysis, the book shows how the purchasers of legal services actually think. With Richard Levick he co-authored Stop the Presses: The Litigation PR Desk Reference, which has emerged as a standard guide for both lawyers and non-lawyer managers in the post-Enron environment. Now in its second edition, the book draws powerful lessons from Mr. Smith's rich experience commandeering and refining communications strategies in the court of public opinion.

Mr. Smith is an experienced journalist and formerly the editor of the prestigious legal publication Of Counsel.
