Our Team
Our lawyers bring a wealth of legal expertise from various backgrounds; all of them rigorous training grounds. Some have worked at leading national and multi-national firms, where they gained valuable experience handling complex legal matters. Others started at leading litigation boutiques where they honed meticulous advocacy skills. Many were also judicial law clerks, where they gained a deep understanding of the court system and invaluable insight into how judges think.

This varied experience adds up to one thing: a multi-pronged perspective that evaluates our cases and solutions from all angles. That’s what makes our work different.
