Women Leaders Feature: A Firm with Grit | A Multi-Discipline Approach

An Interview with Mary-Olga (Mo) Lovett,Texas Co-Regional Operating Shareholder; Houston Co-Managing Shareholder, Greenberg Traurig

Would you highlight your role at Greenberg Traurig and your key areas of focus?

I am the co-regional operating shareholder for our Texas offices, which include Austin, Dallas, and Houston. I am a litigator with a commercial, intellectual property, and appellate practice.

What are the keys to being an ef fective litigator?

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that the only antidote for fear is knowledge. You must know every facet and aspect of your case – and put a critical eye on every document and witness. It is also essential to “think like your opponent.” I like to step outside the case and view it through my adversary’s eyes, and my preparation comes in many forms. Of course, all of this assumes that I am taking a case all the way to trial. Many of our clients value early dispute resolution, but that strategy is not effective unless the other side knows that we are willing to go to trial. I am, and I do.
