When Jay Felton says he is focused on the success and satisfaction of his clients, he means it literally. Jay starts each year with a simple bull’s-eye chart of the client goals and objectives he plans to focus on and shares this target list with the other attorneys on his teams – ensuring that everyone has the same end in sight: what is best for the client. Jay is so invested in the clients he represents that his business plan has always been simple, "To only work with clients I believe in – those businesses I am willing to fully go to battle for. Protecting them from risk is the hill I am willing to die on." And his clients appreciate this commitment to making their lives easier. As one corporate counsel said, "When I have a case with Jay, I feel a level of comfort that is greater than with other firms – that we are aligned together and moving in the right direction." "Of all the lawyers I’ve worked with, few meet their promises with as much authenticity and enthusiasm as Jay. He does what he says he’ll do and does it well, and with a level of client service that is unmatched," said one senior counsel. For more than 20 years, Jay has worked with his team to get to know clients’ people, competition, strengths, challenges, opportunities and threats so the solutions his team suggests will help clients to best manage their risk. He explains, "We hit the ground running, actively setting the cadence of the matter – not passively waiting for the matter to develop – with the goal of fighting on the issues that most favor our client’s position, business strategy, core values and intended outcomes."
