Letter from the Managing Officer and Chairperson of the Board


Dear Gray Plant Mooty Clients and Friends,


It was a year of renewed perspective for our law firm. With so much happening in the global economy that was beyond anyone’s control, we focused significant attention in 2011 on matters we could influence. We thoroughly reviewed our business and ex- plored ways to improve how we serve our clients, our employees, and our communities.


We chose “Focused on What Matters” as the theme for this Year in Review, because it reflects the reenergized priorities that resulted from our evaluation. We focused on exceptional client service, efficient project management, process improvement, and bringing individualized service and value to each client. We have added highly qualified lawyers and staff and continued our exemplary efforts at giving back to the communities where we live and work.


The “Focused on What Matters” theme also touches on another event last year that profoundly impacted the Gray Plant Mooty family: the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Tamara Hjelle Olsen. Tamara was the embodiment of focusing on what matters—in how she lived, in how she worked, and in the sense of reverence and respect she paid to every individual she encountered.


At Gray Plant Mooty, we are focused on deepening and broadening relationships and using our vision, wisdom, and experience to get the best results for our clients, employees, and communities. It is both a pleasure and a privilege to serve you, and we look forward to continuing our work with you in the future.


We thank you for everything.
