William M. Habicht Guides the process When he's not working (which isn't very often), you can find Bill afield, chasing game birds with his yellow labs, Blue and Stella. Sometimes Bill takes the lead, directing the dogs where to go, but more often, he serves as their guide, observing their instincts and providing direction and counsel, as needed, to keep them on course. Knowing when to take control and when to step back are critical. As Messerli & Kramer's president, Bill is responsible for the management of the firm, including its 44 attorneys and 180 employees. And his approach to client work and managing the firm mirrors his handling of Blue and Stella determining the level of management required by each transaction. Each deal is different, with some requiring Bill's active approach while others merely need Bill's skills guiding the process. Bill maintains a very active legal practice, including the representation of companies, financial institutions, real estate investment groups, and the owners of those businesses. Access, response and service are hallmarks of the relationship Bill shares with his clients. Coupled with quick thinking and common sense, Bill provides immediate, real-world business solutions for his clients. Bill comes complete with cell phone, blackberry, an ever-present cup of coffee, a very dedicated assistant who knows where he is at all times, and, on occasion, two dogs, a blaze orange vest and a dog whistle |
