Comments
“Bryan has the ability to see the entire playing field clearly. He is able to assess information delivered by outside counsel and make decisions—with rationale that allows outside counsel to execute quickly in litigation.
“He is also extremely principled and thinks about how litigation strategy will impact the business over time—rather than over the course of a single (or even a few) matter(s).”
