In an article for Bloomberg Law [PDF], partner Michele Maryott describes what it takes to successfully lead a trial team: “a blend of trust, collaboration, and the ability to bring out the best in each team member.”

Among the tenets that Michele follows when trying a case are:  embracing a “believe” mentality, playing to team members’ strengths, leaving egos at the door, remembering we’re all human, knowing your audiences — and having fun.

As she sums up, “Leading a trial team is about fostering trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence — and that means embracing the value that everyone, especially our clients, brings to the team.”

Michele was a recipient of Bloomberg Law’s inaugural Unrivaled award, celebrating litigators who lead the legal industry in high-stakes trials and settlements on impactful matters for clients.
