We Follow the Golden Rule

We treat our clients as we would expect to be treated.

2

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS ISN'T OUR THING. RESULTS ARE.

We are small by design — because small teams get better results. (See Jeff Bezos' famous "Two Pizza Rule".) Our power is in our talent, not our headcount. We are efficient, cost-effective and focused on out-performing rather than outspending our adversaries.

WE BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

We begin each engagement by critically evaluating your end goal. Successful outcomes result from focusing on the right goals, and developing a targeted strategy to achieve those goals.

4

WE FOCUS RELENTLESSLY ON WHAT MATTERS

The 80/20 rule applies with special vigor to the practice of law. We achieve superior results by focusing on the 20% of your case or your business deal that is mission critical. We get to the heart of the matter, and we stay there. In litigation, it is the core facts and story that make a lasting impression with judges, juries and mediators. In business deals, we focus on the defining  economic and legal points first and foremost.

5

WE REPRESENT A FULL RANGE OF CLIENTS

The only side we pick is yours. We represent plaintiffs, defendants, individuals, companies, partnerships and entrepreneurs. This is a considerable advantage to our clients. We see the world through a broad lens, and develop strategies that anticipate our opponent’s thinking.

6

We are Battle Tested

Our partners are hands-on, and unafraid to roll up their sleeves. We are actively engaged in trials, hearings, arbitrations, mediations, settlement and deal negotiations every day. This is not a desk job for us.

7

WE ARE THE MOST PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE IN THE ROOM

We take Charlie Munger’s maxim to heart: "You can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow." We treat every person with courtesy and respect. Our objective is to solve your problem or close a successful deal, not to show how tough we are. We are more than tough enough when need be.

8

WALL STREET savvy.  SILICON VALLEY MINDSET.

We combine Wall Street financial and commercial expertise, with an entrepreneurial approach. In short: Wall Street know-how with a start-up attitude. You get the advantages of both worlds in business deals, employment negotiations, and commercial litigation.

9

WE SHARE RISK

Our goal is to add value, and we are willing to take economic risk. In addition to hourly fees, we offer contingent, blended and alternative fee structures.

10

WE MEASURE OURSELVES BY OUR RESULTS IN ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS

We have an outstanding record of success. We ask you to judge us on our results and our reputation.
