and access,
A business client exploring a key acquisition recently introduced me at a meeting as his “long-time friend, business advisor and lawyer, in that order.” He said I knew his business as well as any member of his management team, and the M&A process far better; and if anyone could get the deal done, I could. He then informed the seller that I would be leading all discussions and negotiations. That's how I want to be viewed and the role I want to play for all of my clients - a key member of the business and advisory team who also happens to be a capable and practical lawyer who understands the need to get the deal done.
