Then we work with you to choose the best legal approach, assign the right person or team and carefully monitor the time and resources it takes to deliver results at a cost that makes business sense. The idea is to keep you informed about how we are spending your money.

This year, the firm published the article “Advertising Injuries: Defamation and Right of Publicity,” detailing how insurance advertising injury coverage under General Liability policies works in various claims scenarios, helping business owners and other attorneys better understand how this complex type of insurance works. 

Melissa J. Lyon was named a 2019 National Law Review Go-To Thought Leader for her thought leadership on Energy issues. Of special note are her articles chronicling energy bankruptcies and tribal law issues, but she can also be counted on to provide analysis of industry reports as well as highlights from important litigation in the field.
