Experience
While the Collaborative is very proud of the prominent firms, families, and individuals we represent, we keep all client relationships confidential; to do otherwise would not be in keeping with the high standards we work so hard to maintain.
Nonetheless, below are a few representative examples of just our Staff General Counsel's experience. Because of the way the Collaborative works with independent professionals on its Roster, though, the Collaborative is able to help clients with literally any legal matter.
