James Falvey comes from a long line of businessmen. His grandfather ran a chain of men’s clothing stores, and his father was a community banker. So it was no surprise that after more than a decade as a lawyer, Falvey went back to school for his MBA to further his business education.

“From a legal perspective, it helps me be a better lawyer and serve my clients better,” he says. “I’m able to communicate with my business-side colleagues and hopefully provide them with the service they’ve come to expect and deserve.”
