How the team works

Legal team

Lawyers

Each engagement is assessed for fit, conflicts and scope before a lawyer is assigned. The team works with operations professionals under appropriate lawyer supervision.

Client operations and support

The team that supports an organized matter process

Operations professionals support organized intake, communication, documentation and follow-through. Legal advice and representation remain lawyer-led.

Matter assignment

Not sure who should handle your matter?

Start with the firm. We assess fit, conflicts and scope before assigning the appropriate lawyer or counsel. Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the firm accepts an engagement only after conflict checking and written confirmation.
