A Compliment That We Should All Strive For

I was reading the “In-House Counsel” feature of The National Law Journal of April 10, 2006.  The featured lawyer was Andrew A. Merdek of Cox Enterprises, Inc.  In the section about his legal team and outside counsel, Merdek had this to say about his law firm, Washington-based  Dow, Lohnes & Albertson: “We don’t have their phone number, we have their DNA.”  Nice.  Sounds like a lawyer who is more than satisfied with his outside counsel.
