A few years back, two of us had the privilege of joining a
highly trained SWAT team in New Orleans responding to a call for a
barricaded subject with an assault rifle. To be clear, by
"joining" we mean observing from the relative safety of
the command vehicle. From that vantage point, we had the privilege
of watching the incident response unfold from start to finish
through a wide-angle lens, so to speak. Like a SWAT team, a
lawyer's specialized knowledge and training arm us with a
variety of tools to solve problems before resorting to the big guns
(i.e., litigation). Read more about our lessons learned from SWAT
here , to give us all more access to more
tools.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
