Q: What are some of your proudest recent achievements?

A: I am proud of the transformational change that occurred during my tenure as Norton Rose Fulbright’s U.S. managing partner, and before that, as global head of dispute resolution and litigation and head of our New York office. When we became Norton Rose Fulbright in 2013, we moved from being an international firm to a truly global firm capable of meeting the needs of clients anywhere in the world. I am proud of being one of the partners who led that change. I am proud of leading the integration of six regions (North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East) into the largest disputes/litigation department in the world. I am proud of growing our New York office and positioning it to become one of the 25 largest law firm offices in New York. I am proud of fulfilling a long-time goal of our firm during my term as U.S. managing partner by opening our San Francisco office.
