How the team works

A partner on every matter, a specialist for every question

Every client is assigned a responsible partner who leads the matter from intake to resolution. Depending on the dispute, that partner draws on the rest of the team: Priya Raman for payment and platform issues, Daniel Okafor for mediation and structured negotiation, Thomas Lindqvist for fund tracing and valuation, and Elena Vasquez-Reyes when a matter is headed for court.

Sarah Whitfield remains your point of contact throughout, so you always know who to call and always get a call back.

"We keep the team small on purpose. Clients should know every person working on their matter by name."Marcus Drom
