Every once in awhile, I have the inkling to make a blog post that is not about developments in privacy litigation or technology litigation or cloud computing law or foreclosures or any of the other endless stream of ideas and legal thoughts that pass across my desk. This is one of those times. Because, while I think it is important for our readers to know that Mexico passed a new data privacy law or that litigation related to CAN SPAM is likely a rising field, I think it is equally important for our readers and clients to gain insight into the psyche of Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP as it is viewed through the eyes of this humble writer. Thus the question: Who are Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP.
First, I must note that I intentionally chose the plural tense in that question because, although I agree that Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP is an entity that could be viewed as a singular, I fully believe that we are made of the people that permeate this place. Thus, we are a plural. Second, if what you are looking for is our resumes and the curriculum vitae of these Indiana technology counsel, you can check them out on our webpage.
Rather, I intend to discuss who we are in such a way that our readers and clients can relate to the ideals for which we stand. We are the rogues. We are the fighters. We are the fixers. We are the counselors. To a person, the attorneys at ACH are products of years of experience. We have all trudged through the mud of the legal profession in other locales before coming to this place. Which, inevitably, leads to the question of "why here?"
The answer to that simple question is that because here we can be what our clients need. We can be entrepreneurs. We can be fighters. We can truly embody the idea of counselor that so many of us sought when we went to law school in the first place.
Does that mean that I always give my clients the advise that they want to hear? No. My job, and the job of any great attorney, is to give the advise that is warranted in the situation. ACH not only gives its attorneys the ability to do that, but rather encourages it. I can honestly say that I have practiced from the biggest of big to the smallest of small, in the private sector and the public sector, and there is no place that I would rather practice law. I have told colleagues that ask me about ACH that I practice law in a way that every attorney wants to practice when they are honest with themselves as to what they want out of their profession.
This place is filled to the brim with spirit, humor, knowledge, and skill. And I think there are two quotes that best answer the question of Who are Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP. The first is from Ulysses S. Grant. In a speech in London, Grant stated "Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace." The second is from Ode by Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy, but was made famous (in my opinion) by Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: "We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams."
