WCP Consulting and Communications

What WCP Consulting and Communications does

WCP Consulting and Communications is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, operating in the niche intersection of legal strategy and corporate communications. The firm traces its corporate lineage to WC Publishing & Printing Co., Inc. (founded 1995), with WCP Communications formally established as a separate entity in 2006. It serves law firms, corporate legal departments, and individual clients across the United States — and historically in the Bahamas via a subsidiary opened in 1999 — providing jury consulting, focus group research, mock trial services, settlement videos, crisis management, media relations, public relations, web design, and speaking engagement curation.

The firm's service portfolio is anchored in human expertise rather than proprietary technology. Core offerings include trial consulting and jury selection support (with documented association with high-profile verdicts including a reported $23.6B verdict and a $19.8M jury award through client engagements), crisis communications, PR, and corporate training facilitation (added in 2002). In 2007, the firm diversified into a Speakers Bureau, monetizing its professional network. More recently, the firm developed virtual mediation and remote trial-consultation tools in 2020 to support remote service delivery. The firm is led by CEO Dr. Tanya Wiley-Brown, who delivered a keynote at the 2022 Power of WE Symposium, signaling active thought-leadership positioning.

The business model is project-based professional services billing against law firm and corporate clients on an engagement-by-engagement basis, supplemented by Speakers Bureau fees and ancillary web/digital services. The firm operates with a headcount band of 11-50 employees, consistent with a small-to-mid professional services firm. Geographic footprint is concentrated in the Southeast US with legacy Caribbean exposure, and the firm has positioned itself as a national resource for high-stakes litigation support and crisis communications, though no enterprise-scale platform or recurring-revenue SaaS component is evident.
