The practice of litigation has fundamentally changed.

More than ever, clients need to resolve cases in a timely and cost-effective manner. The challenge for a law firm is to continue to provide quality advice and a high level of service in a value-driven environment.

Marta Watson is born of the idea that you can build a more effective insurance litigation practice around the evolving needs of insurance companies. The key is to keep files moving – and to never lose sight of the big picture. That requires an ability to “see where the case is going.” Only then can you accurately assess files, develop a game plan and execute it efficiently and cost-effectively.
