Leading law firm chairs and chief marketing officers often select Kent Zimmermann to help them increase the size, strength, and profitability of their firms.  Kent consults in three areas: strategic growth planning, mergers and acquisitions, and key client programs, including client service interviews.  Kent's interdisciplinary perspective grows out of his experience as an intellectual property litigator, general counsel, and CEO.
