Q & A
What made you want to enter the legal field?
The initial reason was because I believe nothing is more important than earning another's trust and confidence. Over time, that has evolved into being the person that others trust to simplify and resolve their most complex issues and achieve their goals.
What kind of challenges get you most excited at Bilzin Sumberg?
I look for solutions that are the best for the client, building on prior experiences, while working to develop creative solutions for clients. We have great resources and talented attorneys, but our one office approach is unique and provides us the opportunity to be nimble and pool those resources together, not just across practice groups but across all facets of the firm to continuously develop new ways to better serve our clients.
How do you anticipate client needs?
I listen and then make every effort to understand my client's history, objectives and long term goals beyond any one deal. This understanding and in-depth knowledge leads to anticipating the unexpected and truly collaborating with clients as a strategic partner.
