Well, I have three judgements still outstanding for trials I completed for clients in October 2012, January 14th and 28th, 2013. Fortunately the quick Court of Appeal decision in Li v. Newson upholding, for the most part, a decision of a jury in a 2011 trial or I would be awaiting 4 decisions. If I do not get a judgement soon, by the second week of March I could be waiting on 6 judgements!!!
With a week since my last trial, I am right back at it again for another trial starting later today.
I have to admit that such a trial schedule is demanding on my staff. I have to thank my paralegals who handle the management of issues on files with such skill and thoughtfulness that I can solve a seemingly impossible amount of problems with little effort. There is an incredible power that comes from working so closely with people that they know your response before you even have to say a word. Even more powerful is when you say the word, the response is half drafted before you even open your mouth or put pen to paper. That is the character of a quality team and that is the character that defines my McComb Witten team.
I also want to commend the "A desk" legal assistants who have been labouring to put together back to back to back to back trials. As a lawyer, we expect to have to work evenings and weekends when necessary. I went into work this holiday long weekend and saw so many people stepping up to make things happen if felt like a regular work day. That level of commitment is not typically expected of legal assistants, but is there in droves with our team.
Our "B desk" personnel are less experienced but eager to help in any way possible. I've long heard that you can train skills but not attitude and with our current group of B desk staff we have an abundance of good attitude. It makes it easy to invest in people when the people are quality people and so invested in the team.
Team is the ability for the sum to be greater than its parts. Team is what we have at Mccomb Witten right now. Without the hard work from my team, I would be sinking not swimming.
Thank you to all of my team mates at McComb Witten. When the results come in, and they will come in, any success for our clients is owned by the whole team. There is an energy at Mccomb Witten and that energy is infectious. There is not a doubt in my mind that the spring of 2013 is going to define McComb Witten for years to come.
