Mary Grinman

A formidable advocate in a complex contract dispute

Our company retained Mary Grinman at Skadden Arps when a major supplier breached a long-term manufacturing agreement, putting millions in revenue at risk. From our initial consultation in her Boston office, it was clear we were dealing with a sharp legal mind. Her Harvard Law background and focus on commercial litigation were immediately evident in her strategic approach. She didn't just react to the breach; she conducted a forensic analysis of our entire relationship with the supplier, uncovering patterns we had missed. This comprehensive strategy, no doubt honed through her recognition by Best Lawyers, gave us tremendous leverage. The matter was resolved through a favorable settlement that included not only damages but also critical protections for our intellectual property. Mary is a brilliant strategist and a fierce negotiator. My only minor critique would be that, given the demands on a partner at a firm like Skadden, there were a few instances where our internal team had to follow up for non-urgent updates. However, when it mattered, she was always available and deeply engaged. We would not hesitate to engage her again for high-stakes commercial matters.
