The co-founders of LAWCLERK practiced together as partners at a regional firm with five offices across the West and D.C. for more than a decade. In 2015, they believed they could build a better business model and ventured out to create a boutique firm with fewer conflicts, flexible fee structures, lower overhead and improved quality of life. And while their new firm was a success beyond their most optimistic expectations, it was obvious that the model could be improved even more through the use of technology and modern hiring/staffing strategies. LAWCLERK was born from that vision and the team's desire to build technology to have the best of both worlds - all the benefits of being a boutique firm, but with a pool of exceptionally talented lawyers to draw from. "Our profession is full of the best and the brightest. Lawyers simply need new tools and technology to effectuate the necessary changes that will benefit our firms, our lives and our clients. LAWCLERK was built to be one of these tools".
Greg is the driving force behind LAWCLERK. In addition to being our co-founder, Greg spent 18 years, the last 6 as the managing partner of a regional firm before co-founding a boutique firm that quickly developed a national reputation. As a thought leader in the legal industry, Greg is years ahead of the market in realizing that the traditional law firm business model will soon be a thing of the past.
A native of Las Vegas, Greg is widely regarded as one of the top business bankruptcy and restructuring attorneys in the United States. He has an active legal practice that is concentrated in corporate bankruptcy, restructuring and bankruptcy litigation. Greg has a national practice and regularly represents clients in matters measured in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. Greg has been named Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” three times (2018, 2015 and 2013) for bankruptcy restructuring and bankruptcy litigation. He has been recognized as a “Super Lawyer” every year since 2008. Greg is considered a “Lawyer’s Lawyer” and is regularly hired by local, regional and national firms when they need to hire their own counsel.
Greg has years of experience building and managing law firms, and understands the pressures and challenges law firms face with managing work flow, staffing cases, managing overhead, meeting deadlines and providing superior work product to maintain client relationships. Most of all, Greg understands that the business of law is quickly evolving.
Greg’s entrepreneurial drive and unrelenting pursuit of excellence are two of the most integral components behind the LAWCLERK model. The practice of law is in the midst of a technological transformation and Greg is one of the lead innovators.
