Davis Polk partner Matt Bacal was profiled by Financier Worldwide as part of the publication’s “Power Players: Artificial Intelligence” issue. In the Q&A, Matt discusses his approach to tackling complex legal challenges, how his career goals have evolved over time, and how he mentors younger colleagues. 

“The best legal advice does not just identify risks; it offers a path forward,” he said. “I strive for a consistently rigorous but pragmatic approach, thorough enough to anticipate problems, practical enough to help clients move decisively.”
