With a roster of Fortune 500 and emerging market clients, metlawgroup requires contextual expertise to help them avoid critical threats that could potentially put them out of business. By studying both the failures and successes of market leaders, metlawgroup can help its clients to be strategically focused. Innovation serves as the basis for success. Metlawgroup incorporates innovation in not only how we serve our clients, but also how we adopt new and more effective practices to remain a market leader in our practice area. This is the core of metlawgroup's offer, and makes us an essential and trusted resource that distinguishes our offer from others. We recognize that we serve the people behind the businesses we call the "client", and that their careers, livelihoods, families, mortgages, retirement and futures are in our care. As such, we take our responsibility very seriously. Our ultimate purpose is to create success stories. Our client roster and their accomplishments are a testament to this claim. Therefore, it is through their success that we are able to measure our own.
Metlawgroup is a highly valued strategic business and legal resource for clients working primarily in the media, entertainment and technology verticals. Although operating as a solo practice, Metlawgroup utilizes its network of global legal practitioners for matters that require different subject matter experts. Its founder, David Michail, started this practice with one key premise.... to provide superior service and strategic insight to great people on creative projects. The mission is simply to produce successful clients. A client-centric perspective of offering high value strategic business insight differentiates metlawgroup from other law professionals. Because we think as business professionals first, we are able to produce more effective results for our clients.
In an occupation that lends itself to adversarial situations, mastery and skill in negotiations requires a continual refinement of observing, acting consistently with and predicting individual situations, background thinking, cultural concerns, politics, demographics, relationships and economic concerns. It is a type of martial art for the practice of law. A centered orientation and uncommon intuition enables effective practitioners to propagate new spaces of thinking while deflecting counter-productive moves and unbalanced posturing which can be thwarted by expert practitioners. We work within this orientation to avoid expensive litigation, help our clients fulfill their obligations to stakeholders and exploit highly valuable revenue-producing opportunities for their growth.
