Daria Gladkov specialises in strategic communi­cation in legally sensitive and multi­dimen­sionally complex pro­ceedings with economic and social impli­cations. As part of inter­disci­plinary communi­cation strategies, she develops and manages public narratives that support legal arguments and contribute to long-term repu­tation goals. She advises national and inter­national clients on the targeted positioning, protection and restoration of their corporate and personal repu­tation – in both civil and criminal proceedings.

A key part of her advisory practice involves supporting companies in reorgani­sation and restruc­turing situations. In addition, she assists with the strategic implemen­tation of ESG standards and with com­muni­cating responses to socio-political develop­ments with inter­cultural implications.

Before joining CONSILIUM, the law graduate (LMU Munich) worked in print, online, radio and TV media, including for the Süd­deutsche Zeitung, Bayerischer Rundfunk and the ProSiebenSat.1 media group. During the corona­virus pandemic and the flood disaster in the Ahr region, Daria Gladkov was co-responsible for cross-media and public relations work for the state govern­ment of North Rhine-West­phalia and the Minister-President.
