Mary Gately is fantastic in analyzing complex issues and their impact on the litigation strategy.
She has become one of my most trusted advisers for critical decisions and we would not be able to navigate the complex legal issues we are involved in without her guidance.
She is wonderful to work with, is extremely responsive to client needs, pays a lot of attention to client detail, understands the needs of our business and is just generally great to work with.
