Profile
Eleanor Mercer founded the firm on a single conviction: that the individual deserves counsel as formidable as any corporation's. For three decades she has represented chief executives, founders, and board members at the moments that decide their careers.
She is known for the quiet resolution of matters that others would take public — and for the willingness to try those that must be tried. Clients describe her as the calmest presence in the room and the most exacting.
