WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Gerald is responsive to our needs and flexible."
"He gives smart legal advice."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"Excellent client service is not one size fits all. Each opportunity or challenge is unique. When it comes to working with clients on transactions, governance or personnel matters, I believe in working with the client to develop an approach that is designed to optimize results in light of the specific people and circumstances involved. Have the objective in mind but be willing to reassess the approach after each step. Listen to the client so you can be the trusted advisor they need."
