- Focused effort. We accept a limited number of engagements. This lets us devote the full attention of our most senior team members to each case, ensuring it receives every bit of time and energy required. It also gives us a low-conflict footprint, meaning we can litigate against virtually any adversary.
- Concierge service. We develop close working relationships with our clients. Because we’re typically handling a client’s most important case, we spend significant time understanding their goals, talking through strategy, and supporting them through turbulence.
- 360° perspective. We empower executive decisionmaking by identifying operational, reputational, and other non-financial litigation risks. From out-of-court communications to business strategy, we provide value-added services that convert litigation uncertainty into business opportunity.
- Expert network. We work with talented forensic investigators, influential communications firms, and leading substantive experts across a wide range of industries. If a dispute requires a capability we don’t have, we acquire it.
