| |
| Favorite activities (besides the Law): |
| Spending time with my family and playing tennis. |
| |
| Favorite Sports Team (if you have one), or Favorite Theater or Museum, etc: |
| Goodman Theatre in Chicago, it is precisely what good theatre should be. |

| |
| If there is one thing you could do over as managing partner/chairperson, what is it? |
| It is difficult to narrow it down to just one thing. If you spend significant time in management, there is always more than one thing you might want to do over. But the important thing is to try to learn something from each decision that you make. |
| |
| Is there anything - an individual, a double espresso, a good 4:30 a.m. workout - you consider essential to your success? |
| Michael Zavis, one of our founding partners, who is a great lawyer and was a great mentor to me. |
