Industry involvement and leadership:
Q: How do you work to differentiate yourself from other attorneys in your field?
A: “I focus on building meaningful relationships, providing strong client service and ultimately, on providing value. If you accept
that being a talented lawyer is the threshold expectation for most clients, it becomes the little things that differentiate the
good lawyers from the trusted advisers. I work to make an investment in relationships every day. When something happens,
I try to figure out whether or not my clients would care about it, and then I reach out if I think they will. By understanding a
client’s business and the pressures they face, by thinking about them every day (even if you aren’t working together on an active
matter), and striving to provide valuable advice that helps them stay ahead of the curve, you demonstrate that you care about
their mission and are invested in their success.”
