A principal touchstone of the Firm's commercial and transactional practice
is to always recognize that the client, and not the attorney, is the businessperson
in the deal. The Firm's transactional and commercial attorneys understand
that the Firm's role is to assist in documenting the deal and protecting
the client, and not to take over the deal.
