“At its core, every legal dispute is a barrier to a business objective. My clients have their own constituents who are more concerned with the bottom line than the twists and turns of litigation. As a result, I understand that my clients are judged not by what verdicts or motions are won or lost, but rather on what value they have brought to the company. Because I view every client relationship—regardless of size or scope—as a long-term partnership, I will always advise my clients with that in mind, even when pursuing resolution in the courtroom is not the best path forward.”
