INSIGHTS — ONE VOICE, BOTH ARMS

Essays from the practice.

Writing at the intersection the whole practice stands on: power, narrative, and the law as it is actually lived. Each essay is published here in full.

“I spent almost two years inside federal correctional institutions as a DOJ attorney and law enforcement officer.”

“Most organizations separate their legal strategy from their narrative strategy.”

“The return on strategic counsel is almost impossible to measure — because what you are measuring is the crises that never happened.”

“The most dangerous legal risks for founders are not the ones that announce themselves.”

Four essays published to date, collected here in full.
