Single Mother's Road to General Counsel | The Defense Never Rests Podcast Episode 97

What drives you each day to keep working toward your professional goals? Better question…do you know what those goals even are? Some of us are determined to put in the work solely to best serve our insureds. Others it could be monetary rewards or promotions. And for some, providing for our families are the reason we are motivated to succeed. It also could be a number of things. But for each and every one of us, there is some fire inside that drives us. Even if you do not consciously realize it is there. For our guest this week on The Defense Never Rests, Nicole Pielli, General Counsel of First Tek, Inc. she is driven to succeed not only to provide for her family but as an example to her daughter as to why you work hard. I think many of us can relate to this. Nicole has worked tirelessly as a single working mother to make sure her daughter has all the opportunities available to her that she deserves. But also she wants to be a positive example of what we can accomplish if you put the work in. And Nicole definitely put in the work! Not only has she proven herself in private practice, at a big four accounting firm and now as GC at a large technology company, but she sat for the bar a mere few weeks after giving birth. And passed. I would say she wears a cape and has a super power of pure grit and determination. That is certainly a positive example for her daughter – way to go Nicole! If you do not know why you put in the work or what your goals are, you should not miss this podcast. Nicole’s story will certainly inspire you. So, asking again, what drives you to succeed?

WHEN CLIENTS WORK WITH ME THEY SEE:
✅Early case assessments, within 60 days, so that they can see the strengths and weaknesses of their case EARLY!
✅Vetted exit strategies within 60 days, that allow them to decide EARLY what the best course of action is for their particular case!
✅A deliberate approach to what we spend in litigation because we don't do everything; we do what generates the most ROI for that particular exit strategy. (Ex. If you want an early mediation, we may not even need to take Plaintiff's deposition).
✅If desired, a legal budget (a real one) within 30 days so that you can see what you are about to spend.
✅Internal M&A SOPs that mirror our litigation philosophy, i.e. automated 30 and 60 day reminders upon file opening, weekly reports on reporting deadlines, daily and weekly diary reminders on reporting, exit strategies and discovery deadlines.

ABOUT ME
My name is Patricia Baxter. I am a managing partner helping companies keep their litigation costs under control & close files! I collaborate with insurance companies and self-insured businesses to reach their goals. In addition to my role as an active trial attorney, I also specialize in early and efficient dispute resolution.

My practice is concentrated in 3 main areas: products liability, aviation, and premises liability. With products liability I represent manufacturers and distributors of various powered industrial machinery/equipment; industrial/commercial equipment; medical devices; construction equipment; food service products; cosmetic products; aviation component parts; automotive OEM and aftermarket component parts; elevators; plumbing, electrical and lighting fixtures; and recreational equipment and related component parts. With aviation I represent airlines and aviation vendors, including skycaps, wheelchair handlers, plane cleaners, baggage handlers, Jetway operators, tarmac mechanics and more. With premises liability I represent large commercial landowners and facility management companies with high self-insured retentions.

Thanks for watching!
