SF Law Firm Gains New Partner
New BABC member Putterman, Logan And Giles welcomed a new partner late last year after meeting him on the opposing side of a contentious litigation.
Lawyers Bill Logan and Anthony Giles, of Logan & Giles LLP, representing the beneficiary of a large trust against the two trustees (a major bank and an individual), knew they were in for a real fight when the individual trustee retained Don Putterman, a veteran trial lawyer renowned for his thoroughness and imaginative litigation skills.
Putterman, then a partner in the San Francisco office of a large New York law firm, plunged into the case with his customary enthusiastic aggression. He quickly realized that his client would benefit from a reframing of the case, realigning his client’s interests with those of the beneficiary and “ganging up” on the bank.
