Sherylle Francis
A native of Jamaica, Sherylle grew up in Michigan, where she went to law school and began her legal career as a defense lawyer for major automotive manufacturers, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. She has been fortunate to represent major manufacturing corporations and insurers in complex matters over the course of her career. This taught her several invaluable lessons. One, knowing and understanding each client’s business is crucial. Two, understanding the end-game at the outset aligns expectations. Three, nothing beats regular communications with clients. Sherylle applies these lessons to every customized solution she crafts for her clients.
