IN NEW ENGLAND - Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly

victory achieved at too high a cost may be
no victory at all to the client. Skill means
talent and wisdom in negotiations, transactions
and trial work and an underlying
awareness of a client’s objectives that
informs everything else. It means the ability
to grasp and internalize complex concepts
and to use them to our clients’ greatest
advantage. Finally, it means the
exploitation of our knowledge base, combined
with creativity and insight, to truly
innovate. Impact means playing a vital
role in our clients’ successes. It means
providing our clients the framework to
make acquisitions, bring on key investors
and employees, enter into strategic partnerships,
and transition to new generations.
It means devising bold strategies to
change the direction of high stakes litigation.
It means viewing the complex statutory
and regulatory requirements governing
our non-profit and public clients as
opportunities for growth and innovation
— rather than as restrictions and constraints.
Lastly, it means helping our clients
to make the most of their opportunities.
