8 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 6 LUNG ROSE VOSS WAGNI LD “Just because we’re lawyers, doesn’t mean we’ve got to handle things in court, in an arbitration, or through a contract negotiation,” Lung emphasizes. “If we think that the problem can be solved by a political solution, an economic solution, or a social solution, we have resources in the firm that can make those connections. To say, ‘This is one where we get a leader in the community to speak up and do something’ or ‘This is one we need to take down to grassroots level and get community support for.’ A lot of other firms, because they’re lawyers, they think of solutions in terms of the law first. At LRVW, we try to be as creative as possible. To find the quickest, most economic solutions for clients that don’t always go the traditional route.” He concludes with a shout-out to construction industry members who’ve inspired him to show gratitude and give grace throughout the uncertainty of the pandemic. “The inordinate success we’ve had in the last three years has had so much to do with the construction industry,” Lung says. “The fact that it was deemed an essential business for the state and for the country meant that our work didn’t stop either. We’re extremely grateful to the people in the industry – developers who kept their projects going, contractors who imposed safety conditions at their job sites to allow their workers to work. Everybody in the supply chain who kept things going to get those projects built. Without them, we wouldn’t have had the booming years we’ve had. We’re so thankful to everyone in the industry for allowing us to be part of that.”
