Lawyer Monthly - August 2023

and conduct that, among other things, requires us to put our client’s interest above all others, including our own. 2. What do we do? We accept the representation of clients who come to us with various problems and personal crises. When we accept the representation, we explore every option and remedy available to our client for the best possible outcome. In civil litigation, this requires a thorough risk analysis. 3. How do we do it? We treat every case as a separate ‘mission.’ In doing so, we develop a plan or strategy to reach the desired outcome. The eye of the mission is on trial. We treat each case intending to present the case to a jury. The entire staff is part of this planning, and every team member has a separate and identifiable role in obtaining success. We prepare, prepare, and prepare. We obtain and examine all the evidence available and thoroughly analyse and practice how we will present the evidence to a jury at trial. Fewer and fewer cases are going to trial, and fewer and fewer attorneys have actual trial experience. We believe in sharing what we have learned as trial lawyers and teaching anyone who wants to learn how to try cases. If there is a single (paraphrased) quote that sums up our ethos, it is this: “We choose to... do [these] things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we’re willing to accept.” - John F. Kennedy. What are your plans for the rest of 2023 and further? Our plans for 2023 and beyond are to continue to help those that are referred to us or seek our representation. We will continue to improve as trial lawyers and advocates for this profession, and we will expand our community outreach and connect with as many lawyers as possible to help develop their skills as trial lawyers.
