David brings the insights gained from that experience to bear for Civic Legal clients in the commercial and local government sectors.

"A lawyer’s most powerful tool is listening. I take great joy in listening to – and understanding – our clients’ needs. That allows us to find strategic, creative, and efficient solutions to achieve them.”
