Best advice to offer: “Do not allow the fear of failure to dictate the vision of your business.”
Greatest accomplishment: “Every day, we provide creative legal solutions to our clients and help them reach their business objectives, and we do this while fostering a vibrant, inclusive workplace where people can develop and succeed. never forget how much our clients, and our people, rely on us to perform our jobs at the highest level.”
