Client Advisory Board
Providing excellent legal services is ALFA International’s fundamental goal.
To ensure that ALFA International continues to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients, we have created Client Advisory Boards (CABs). ALFA International is fortunate to have many active clients willing to contribute to our network’s ongoing success by participating in one of our CABs.
These Client Advisory Boards comprised of corporate counsel and claims litigators provide valuable insight into a wide range of subjects that enable ALFA International members to serve our clients’ needs better, including advice on:
- Best practices to improve the delivery of legal services to our in-house clients
- Successful client development approaches
- Subject matter for continuing education seminars and publications
The corporate CAB members listed below guide the ALFA International network. We also have CABs that focus on key industry or practice areas, including Construction, Hospitality, Insurance, Labor & Employment, Product Liability & Complex Torts, Transportation and Workers’ Compensation.
