Minneapolis, MN business litigation attorney Christopher M. Daniels talks about a specific mentor he had and his time working with that mentor. He explains that he has benefited from a number of mentors throughout his career. He began his practice at a large firm in downtown Chicago, working alongside several highly skilled attorneys, and later moved to Los Angeles. There, he had the opportunity to work with Bill Ginsberg, a renowned trial lawyer widely recognized for high-profile cases during the Clinton era. While Ginsberg gained public attention for representing notable clients, his true expertise lay in trial advocacy.

By attending trials with Ginsberg, he gained invaluable insight into courtroom strategy, including jury management, interactions with judges, and handling opposing counsel. The mentorship taught him not only technical legal skills but also how to conduct oneself effectively in a courtroom. Ginsberg’s guidance provided exceptional training and experience, leaving a lasting influence on his approach to litigation. Ginsberg’s passing a few years ago was a significant loss to the legal community.
