Your crisis management legal team?
People say to me, ‘What is your practice?’ I say, ‘Well, if I could put ‘big messes’ on my business card, I would.’
— Jamie Gorelick, co-chair of the crisis management and strategic response group at WilmerHale, commenting on her unique practice area. Gorelick likens herself to the pilot on a client’s plane that’s about to crash, saying, “You’re in flight, you have a decision to make. You generally do not have time to look up the manual, consult broadly, turn the plane around, do a bunch of loops. You have to land the plane. For many lawyers, that’s a very uncomfortable place.”
