In the first of a new NLJ webinar series, Professor Dominic Regan explores an intriguing life in litigation: David Greene, NLJ consultant editor, Senior Partner at Edwin Coe & newly elected Deputy Vice President of the Law Society.

In his day job David heads up one of the foremost firms dealing with group litigation work and litigates around the globe. In this wide-ranging discussion on personal motivation, lessons learned and the state of the profession, David shares some lessons from the Plaintiffs Bar in the US, applauds his legal heroes, and recounts a close call with the Mafia. Running the Article 50 litigation may stand as his greatest court victory (so far) but as a litigator and problem solver David believes that the best cases are the ones you settle behind closed doors.
