Approach
How We Work
Built for decisive engagement.
Pacini Law brings judgment to escalation — determining when to apply pressure, when to negotiate, and when to proceed to litigation or arbitration.
Every matter begins with a clear view of:
Business objectives
Leverage points
Escalation and counter-escalation risk
Exit scenarios
Strategy is set early and executed deliberately.
What Guides the Practice
Not every issue requires motion practice.
Not every conflict requires escalation.
Action is taken only where it creates advantage.
Judgment Before Activity
Force is applied where it shifts leverage — not where it creates noise.
Timing, sequencing, and procedural control are treated as strategic tools.
Escalation Discipline
Legal strategy is integrated with operational, financial, and reputational realities.
Litigation and arbitration are aligned to outcomes — not process.
Business Alignment
Engagement Structure
Engagements are tailored to the matter and the client’s objectives, including:
Litigation and arbitration retainers
Outside general counsel arrangements
Targeted dispute interventions
Select hybrid or success-based fee structures in recovery matters
Ongoing advisory engagements are structured to provide senior access and rapid decision support.
The objective is alignment, clarity, and disciplined execution.
