David J. Shlansky
Founder / Managing Partner
“SLG is driven to provide insights especially suited to businesses. We look at possible outcomes, their probabilities and most importantly, non-obvious approaches that allow for game changers.”
Colin R. Hagan
Partner
“When our clients confront tough challenges, we seek creative solutions to achieve optimal results. We craft a tailored plan keeping the business objective in mind and maintaining the flexibility to adapt as circumstances change or new facts emerge.”
Travis M. Tatko
Counsel
“As a lawyer, I help my clients achieve victories – whether that be in negotiating a key transaction, resolving a dispute through litigation, or advising on strategic alternatives that guide informed business decisions.”
David H. Holloway
Of Counsel
“Just like I suspect is the case in many industries, the more I practice law, the more I realize that quality practice of law is as much an art form as it is a question of technical competence. Many attorneys have adequate technical knowledge, but being a great lawyer involves a healthy dose of creativity and interpersonal soft skills – things they definitely are not teaching in law school.”
