Jackson Walker partner Paula Denney was quoted in a Nov. 19, 2014, Law360 article titled “8 Tips On Managing Client Expectations.” The article asked a variety of law firm partners from both the litigation and transactional sides of the practice to share their best advice for making sure clients have a positive experience throughout the case or transaction.

In terms of litigation, Ms. Denney stressed the importance of being realistic and anticipating possible challenges to the client’s position.

“While you present your client’s positive arguments first, it is also important to explain the likely counter-arguments and possible wild cards,” she said. “When opposing counsel makes those arguments or the ‘expected unexpected happens,’ you gain credibility.”
