Boies Schiller Flexner partner Kenya Davis was profiled by Lawdragon in which she discusses what drew her to BSF, as well as her experience on several of the significant cases she has been a part of since joining the firm.
On her approach to juries, before which she has handled many trials, Kenya said, “people don't really agree on anything anymore. One way to get people to compromise is to find that common human thread. Then, you weave that thread into every part of the story … Getting the jury to understand the concept within the context of their own individual lives – that takes skill. That takes art. That takes translation to build a bridge to the heart of the matter. … That sense of, ‘is it fair? is it right? is it moral? is there integrity there?’ Those human concepts still, even in our very polarized society, ring true.”
When it comes to companies and their ESG compliance, Kenya noted, “when scrutiny arises, the government is looking for what steps you've taken. What have you done to show that you're willing to do the work? That doesn't mean you have to fix issues by tomorrow. But companies need to be able to show their due diligence, and we can help. We understand the differences in standards across the global marketplace and work to ensure that companies will be in compliance.”
