In the Episode, I am joined by Gordon Platt. Platt is an attorney, award-winning investigative journalist and filmmaker, and long-time entrepreneur and strategic consultant. His legal practice focuses on representing companies and individuals facing significant challenges in rapidly evolving sectors of the world economy. Areas of focus include: dispute resolution, fraud and internal investigations, and asset tracing and recovery. He is a member of the bar and licensed to practice in New York and Massachusetts. In this episode, we discuss Platt’s return to the full-time practice of law and how the skills he used as investigative journalist enhance his work as a white collar practitioner.
Some of the highlights include:
- What has it been like to return to the practice of law fulltime during Covid-19?
- Platt’s work as an investigative journalist.
- How did that work inform his approach to the practice of law?
- Why Platt has always found that people who attempted to dissuade him from covering something because it was of no interest always led him to become interested?
- Where and how does Platt see anti-corruption due diligence headed?
- How Platt’s practice is informed by an extensive network of relationships formed over two decades of organizing professional events and programs for investors and entrepreneurs?
