The initial matter involved employment litigation against a prestigious private motorsports club. The client's executive — who interfaced directly with counsel on litigation strategy and document collection — described the work product as 'sharp.' When a subsequent employment matter arose approximately six months later, the EPLI carrier's claims counsel confirmed that the client had 'renewed their request' for the firm specifically to maintain the working relationship. The carrier approved the transfer from the prior handling firm — O'Hagan Meyer — to the firm. Client-requested representation resulting in carrier-approved matter transfers is uncommon in the carrier-assigned defense model, where panel counsel assignments are typically driven by the carrier's internal rotation and cost considerations rather than client preference. The transfer reflected both the quality of the work product and the strength of the client relationship developed during the initial engagement.
