Clients appreciate the creative and result-oriented approaches and scalable solutions we bring to their matters. They also value the integrated team of best-in-class, substantive specialists with whom we collaborate as we craft and execute tactical, sound, and adaptive strategies to reach the best outcomes for them. Because I have litigated hundreds of class actions and other highly complex cases, I rarely encounter anything we haven’t already handled – and that enhances my ability to represent clients effectively and efficiently at the highest levels.
