SOUND COUNSEL
Hopefully, there aren’t too many times in our lives when we need a lawyer – a bit like a doctor, really! But like doctors, when you need a lawyer, you need a good one. Whether it’s a legal dispute, a divorce or an immigration issue, it’s a huge help to get someone who’s recommended.
American MICHAEL LITTLE works as a senior manager for a global defence prime contractor in the design and manufacture of ships. We spoke to him about a work-related legal matter and who he’s been using to help manage the situation.
What issue did you need legal help with?
It’s a fairly complicated one related to government contracts. We have unique requirements in that only US personnel are allowed to work on our maritime projects – projects that include vessels like warships. So, we’re working through the constraints and the different codes of employment – and they’re complicated. We have to organise the immigration and employment issues related to our incoming personnel.
Which lawyers did you choose and why?
I met Franca Ciambella, the managing director of Consilium Law Corporation, at an AmCham event, and I was talking about the challenges we were facing. She came across as someone who was very knowledgeable and calm, with the ability to handle pressure. I wanted to work with someone with these qualities, and Franca seemed ideal.
Were the process and outcome as you’d hoped for? What’s been difficult and wh t has worked well?
