“When I first starting practicing, lengthy, in-person document negotiations were commonplace (and the fax machine was a routine form of communication). I couldn’t have predicted the impact that evolving technology would have on my career. Technology that permits easy communication in various formats regardless of time zones, combined with strong and long-standing relationships with clients and local counsel, means that I can bring to bear large-firm experience and perspective gained from time spent on the ground in Asia over a number of years – all from right here in North Carolina. I’m grateful for that opportunity and proud of the value we deliver to clients. Those long-standing relationships with clients, built on trust and in the trenches as we walk through every step of a transaction at their side, are our reward.”
