“My daughter had drawn a picture of what she wants to be when she grows up. She drew herself as a lawyer standing in front of a ‘Brobeck’ sign. I was moved… Give us a few months, we will not only manage to keep the lights on here, but we will light up the night sky.” – Brobeck Phleger & Harrison head of litigation Steven Zager (associate bulletin board, September 2002).

“Personally, this feels like a homecoming to me,” – Zager (On his arrival at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, February 2003)
