Litigation partner Staci Yablon spoke with Benchmark Litigation about her experience guiding global financial institutions and corporations through a broad variety of litigation and investigation matters, as well as about the evolution of her practice and other topics.
“One of the most essential skills for practicing in financial services is that you have to be nimble, because you’re addressing a lot of different areas of the law,” Staci says in the in-depth interview, published on March 10. “Crucially, you need to have a very deep understanding of your client’s business and what their priorities are, and to be able to pivot quickly and effectively among many different strands.”
Staci also emphasizes the extent to which strong working relationships, both with clients and colleagues, have shaped her career, including playing a role in bringing her to Paul, Weiss.
“I had worked alongside Paul, Weiss lawyers on some big antitrust and securities matters, so I knew and liked them personally,” she says. “It was this depth of legal talent and industry-leading clients that drew me to the firm—the chance to work on a broad range of the most interesting, complex and significant legal matters, alongside colleagues who are at the top of their game.”
