The Power of Collaboration: Achieving Better Legal Results Together

“I think of a a particular case where a collaboration with another attorney wound up giving a better result to both clients um it was a case down in Louisville where there had been some construction going on over the Ohio river and uh several members of the same family died and with there being so many different family members involved uh there might have been in something on the order of 21 plaintiffs and 12 defendants or something like that that’s probably not an exactly correct number but it was more than even our Law Firm could handle on its own given you know we have 10 attorneys but there’s just so many people to represent and so many defendants on the other side so we called in another lawyer who does what’s called admiralty cases which is what this was uh named Brad Lane who I had worked with in the past and Brad coming in and helping us with that case wound up being one of those collaborations that created Synergy. He I mean probably knows Admiralty law better than anyone I know very quick on his feet in depositions. We have those skills but we also had skills for writing legal briefs research motions to the judge that kind of thing where I felt we added more value and working together. I think we were able to make a case that was larger and more satisfactory to our clients and gave them a better result than either firm could have done alone.”
