• Draft and argue motions; take and defend depositions.
• Manage discovery and carry matters through hearing or trial as strong second chair and as developing or actual first chair.

Build the Bench and the System

• Mentor junior attorneys and paralegals; delegate real work and provide follow-up with instruction and feedback tied to progress.
• Improve the matter planning, templates, technology, or legal products by bringing at least one concrete improvement each week.
• Maintain disciplined timekeeping, service commitments, budgets, and on-plan execution in both personal work and delegated work.

Deepen the Client Relationship
