Brad Karp Discusses the Importance of Client Focus in LEADERS Magazine
September 29, 2023
Firm Chairman Brad Karp is featured in the “New York” section of LEADERS Magazine’s October, November, December 2023 issue. In a Q&A, Brad discusses the roots of Paul, Weiss’s sustained success and growth, citing the firm’s longstanding focus on excellence in client service and on attracting the world’s best talent.
“Our success comes down to our ability to provide unparalleled client service,” Brad says. “Our clients come to us because they know that we are ‘all in’ on their behalf.”
Brad notes that the firm’s capabilities have continued to evolve in step with clients’ needs. “We understand what is keeping our clients up at night, and we can pivot to meet their emerging needs,” Brad notes, citing the launch of the firm’s Civil Rights and Racial Equity Audits practice in 2022—among the first in the nation—and the more recent rollout of a multidisciplinary Digital Technology practice to help clients navigate transactions involving emerging technologies like generative AI, augmented or virtual reality applications, and cryptocurrency and blockchain, and to defend clients facing litigation or regulatory enforcement actions involving new technologies.
Brad also highlights the firm’s many pro bono contributions to the New York City community, noting Paul, Weiss’s collaboration on a city initiative to put thousands of migrants on a pathway to employment, and work on strengthening frontline city nonprofits fighting poverty through legal health checkups, among other efforts.
LEADERS Magazine, a forum for ideas and opinions of the world’s most influential people, features interviews with global executives.
