Susan M. Wissink
Director
Background: Wissink is passionate about helping her clients, learning about their businesses, and helping them reach their goals in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, entity formation, loans, and general corporate matters. In numerous complex transactions, this experienced business attorney has represented both buyers and sellers, including asset and stock-based acquisitions and sales, mergers and other business reorganizations. As a Phoenix-based business attorney, she assists her clients in forming new companies, strategic partnerships, commercial loans, general corporate matters and commercial health care matters.
Key to success: “My parents raised me to follow my dreams and never let gender hold me back. Confidence in myself and others, willingness to spend time training and mentoring others, pushing myself to be better every day, and viewing others as my motivators versus my competitors have led to my success.”
Source of pride: “My work in managing the national pro bono response to 9-11 because I helped, directly or indirectly, over 2,000 victims. When the terrorist attacks occurred, everyone wanted to help the victims and their families. My legal training and position with the ABA allowed me to assist so many in need.”
Surprising fact: “I was a college cheerleader in the Big10 and snuck into the Iowa visiting locker room during a football game to confirm if the walls were really painted pink. And, yes, they were.”
