The firm

The team

This page lists who works on refusal-to-perform matters at the firm, and what each person covers. It does not rank experience or promise outcomes. Use it to find the profile that matches the position, then read the linked material before any call.

Management

• Julian Hoeck — managing partner. Decides which matters the firm accepts and which it declines; does not take cases himself.
