Nicole Wrigley is vice chair of Benesch's litigation group and its trial practice group. She has wide-ranging complex commercial litigation expertise, including in defamation, auditor liability and securities-related suits.

I am very appreciative of Nicole's creative, outside the box thinking. She has a real talent for identifying a path forward and then stepping back and asking herself and her team: "but how else could we approach this problem?".

She is hardworking and skilled at expert reports.

She is super thoughtful.
