Bio Andrew Sherman

How Andrew succeeds at Business Development:  a genuine passion for helping people; being incredibly well organized; an educator at heart.

Strike the right balance between being excited to meet new people and help them and not being that guy handing out 80 business cards.

Make communication a habit. Make the time investment. Embrace it. Enjoy it.

We can’t offer ourselves as problem solvers if we don’t understand the business aspects of the problem. 

AI can’t provide the substantive judgment of a well-trained veteran lawyer.

It’s going to be an intermingling of a lawyer’s judgment and tools like Watson, data mining, and artificial intelligence that will make us more efficient.
