What About Clients?
Description
About Dan Hull
I am a member of the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and California bars. A litigator and lobbyist, I have life-long ties to the Washington, D.C. legal and government communities, and equally close ties to lawyers in Western Europe and Latin America. I practice in the areas of complex litigation (primarily U.S. federal courts and ADR abroad), environmental law, employment practices and legislative affairs. When I have time, I write about business litigation, natural resources law, the American legal profession and cultural aspects of international law practice. I also consult and speak about these topics.
What About Clients? is a weblog which contains my personal ideas and thoughts on servicing business clients as valued customers in American law firms. I started it in 2005 because I think that (1) the level of service at even the best American law firms is often inattentive and erratic--and that troubles me--and (2) even where service is sound, it can be a lot better. See The First Post. The day-to-day content of anything in What About Clients? has nothing to do with Hull McGuire PC, a law firm in which I’m a shareholder.
My clients are businesses my firm and I represent on a repeating basis throughout the U.S., Europe and Latin America. We take on only three or four new clients per year--typically Fortune 500 or publicly-traded companies, normally represented by large law firms, which need attentive representation in litigation, international business law, taxation, securities, intellectual property, telecommunications, environmental law, employment practices or legislative affairs (lobbying).
