Hear insights from Joshua Mayer:

What drew you to your current practice area? Two things about litigation drew me in and have kept me going: mastering the important facts and ideas in a case, and communicating them effectively. Before law school I taught high school English and Spanish, and the most fulfilling part was developing the ability to know the material cold and to communicate it in a way that reaches people where they are. I went looking for other ways to apply those skills and they led me straight to litigation, where every case requires us to know all of the important details and communicate our client’s message in a way that people will find simple to understand, persuasive, and trustworthy.

How do you collaborate with clients to achieve the best outcomes in your practice? We look at each case to see how we can move towards a resolution in our client’s favor, ask questions where needed and draw on our experiences where suitable, and convey our assessment to the client of how best to move forward and what range of outcomes may be involved. The entire process moves at the speed of trust: I trust my colleagues to help develop a clear-eyed picture of the case, I trust our clients to tell us what is important to them, and every single communication we have with clients, opposing counsel, judges, jurors, and mediators depends on a relationship of trust in order to be successful. I’ve found you can change people’s minds and resolve even the toughest issues, but only when you’ve built the foundation of trust.

What’s a book, movie, or show you always recommend? Tastes vary, so I tend to be sparing about recommendations, but my most well-used book is a copy of Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges, and the movie I come back to the most is Heat.

What’s your go-to way to recharge after a long week? Mountain biking, hiking with my family or, when it gets too hot outside, going to the neighborhood pool for a swim.
