Mr. Connors is known for his incisive legal analysis and research acumen, which enables him to quickly cut through the noise to identify what facts and legal issues will be dispositive in resolving any given dispute. Mr. Connors uses this analysis to cost-effectively guide discovery and to provide his clients with a clear-eyed assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of their legal positions.
