Litigation partner Andy Bouchard was featured in a Q+A in The American Lawyer’s latest “Litigation Daily” column. In “‘Don’t Waste the Court’s Time’: A Delaware Chancery Court Primer from Paul Weiss’s Andre Bouchard,” Andy discusses his first year at Paul, Weiss, what he misses about being Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery, what it takes to build a successful Chancery Court practice and what newcomers to the court should know, among other topics. He also notes how important it is for firms that don’t have Delaware roots to understand the traditions and expectations of the court and regularly appear before the court.
“The court generally likes seeing repeat players, because there’s a greater sense of accountability and confidence a judge will have with a lawyer who regularly appears before them,” Andy says. “Just to take Paul Weiss, for instance: It’s now been in Delaware for 13 years. And it’s developed that kind of track record of people—I’d say a dozen or so partners, not all resident in Delaware—who regularly appear in the court and are known commodities to the judges in the court, and known commodities, frankly, in some of the highest stakes matters that the court sees. And that’s what you really need.”
