Success Made to Last Legends of Business with Mitch Zuklie. Chairman of Orrick and a partner in the firm's Technology Companies Group. I have the privilege of working with a great team at a great law firm. Our focus is technology & innovation, energy & infrastructure and finance. In my law practice, I counsel innovative companies at all stages, working closely with their founders, boards, advisors and investors. I help companies and investors in financings, public offerings, mergers, acquisitions and technology transactions.   Tell us about your favorite mentors in life and how they positively influenced you.What is your new definition of success, post Covid 19? As a leader, how did you learn to say no? Can you describe your relationship with fear and how do you manage fear in your career and personal life? In Philippe Bouissou's book Aligning the Dots, he states that the key to alignment with your customer is to clearly define and control the expected delight. Further- the difference between the received delight and expected delight will dictate how much growth contribution can be realized. Please share a story of a company that understood the vital importance of alignment and grew beyond expectations. And provide an example of a company that was misaligned and never unleashed its full potential. If you could live another 100 years, what would you want to accomplish?   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

How should law firms react during these turbulent times? Law Technology Now host Ralph Baxter sits down with Mitch Zuklie, CEO of Orrick, to discuss how attorneys can lead and manage their law firms during a pandemic. Mitch explains how it’s important to pay attention to how you respond internally as well as the impact your clients will face while delivering services to them that are relevant to the crisis. He suggests law firms should develop plans and be prepared for uncertain times, but not to overlook the opportunities these moments provide, like permitting your firm to accelerate client relations and prioritize innovation. Times like these are tough to deal with, but Mitch reminds listeners that when the market is back up, there will still be work for everyone. Mitch Zuklie is the chairman and CEO of Orrick.
