Managing Partner Elizabeth Pipkin authored the article “The value of knowing your local legal landscape” for the Daily Journal’s “Top Boutiques” award supplement, published Oct. 30, 2024.
In her article, Pipkin focuses on the importance of understanding how the law is applied in certain jurisdictions. She says, “Views on legal matters differ between judges in different states or counties – and sometimes even between judges in the same courthouse.” Experience interacting with opposing counsel and judges – how they react, how they think, etc. – can be informative when developing a winning strategy at trial.
Pipkin also discusses the importance of managing client expectations and building relationships with lawyers and judges in the legal community. She concludes: “It is up to you – the lawyer – to build these connections with the legal community in your area.”
