2016 Year in Review: Katrine Beck, Vigorito Barker Porter & Patterson, LLP
Katrine Beck, Vigorito Barker Porter & Patterson, LLPName & Title: Katrine Beck, Esq., Partner
Company Name: Vigorito Barker Porter & Patterson, LLP
What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or professional achievement in 2016?
Professionally, it was an honor to be selected by my peers to be included in Super Lawyer 2016- an honor awarded to top 5% of attorneys in a specific field (litigation).
What project, transaction, market trend or product had the greatest impact on your industry this year?
We were court ordered to produce a large scale document production in a commercial litigation matter in a relatively short about of time. We linked up with a cloud-based service provider who scanned all the electronically stored information (ESI) from various sources and was able to code the information so that we could conduct an effective document review and comply with a court order.
This new method of reviewing, coding and producing discovery documents allowed us be efficient and to provide significant cost savings to the client.
How will you be supercharging your productivity in 2017?
I think to be productive, you have to address every aspect of your life and have a reasonable plan in place. To be supercharged and productive, it is important to be in a supportive and collaborative environment and feel appreciated. I plan to cross-market my efforts with my partners so that everyone can be more productive. I’m super excited about 2017!
