We are pleased to announce the promotion of Stephanie Friedel to the position of Senior Associate, effective January 1, 2024.
With more than eight years of experience, Stephanie represents a wide range of clients from global businesses to shareholders and individuals through every stage of litigation from discovery to trial.
