World’s Irrefutable
Leaders in Law, 2023
Imagine your leadership ability is like a lid on a jar. The
higher your leadership ability, the more effective you can
be as a leader. But if your leadership ability is low, it
limits your potential. Some people might worry because
this means no matter how much they want to be a great
leader, there's a limit to how good they can be. This limit
depends on things like how well you work with others,
plan things, have a vision, work hard, and your past
achievements.
In reality, genuine leaders who attain a perfect 10 are
exceedingly rare. Nevertheless, when you embrace the
law of the lid and evaluate your own leadership prowess,
you gain a clear understanding of your followers'
positions on the leadership spectrum and identify areas
for personal growth to elevate your leadership ceiling.
The encouraging aspect of the law of the lid is its
inherent adaptability. It would be unwise to assume that
your current leadership status represents the pinnacle of
your potential. Every leader has room for growth, but it
necessitates unwavering dedication and a readiness to
put in the effort.
World's Leaders latest edition “World’s Irrefutable
Leaders in Law, 2023” has featured success stories of

Basilio Advogados
14 | October 2023

Leading a law business as it continues to experience multiple unexpected
political and economic times is exceedingly difficult, especially for
liberal professionals. That is why it is critical to prioritise excellence in
customer service, particularly through offering prompt service and
responding quickly to their demands, as one of the main principles that
govern personal life and professional performance. One must have faith
in his team's ability to perform well, as well as develop a clear and agile
communication channel and work focused on meeting the clients'
demands in the best way possible. In the broadest sense, success is a
"result," which Ana Tereza Basilio, Founding Partner of Basilio
Advogados, says is the consequence of good work. Hard work,
perseverance, and focus beyond everyday efforts are what she values and
recognizes as useful for achieving good results.
Basilio Advogados
Basilio Advogados Law Firm was established by Ana Basilio. Over the
past 12 years, the firm has experienced exponential growth and is
currently among the top national civil litigation, arbitration, and
consulting firms. It has a multidisciplinary staff that operates in several
business sectors while placing a premium on ethics in its interactions and
the never-ending pursuit of excellence. Today, it employs more than 100
lawyers who were carefully chosen in the competitive legal market. They
are professionals with a track record of accomplishment who combine a
consistent ethical-professional vocation, a sense of teamwork, and
performance success before the federation's most diversified courts.
Additionally, the team is made up of the esteemed Professor Carlos
Roberto Barbosa Moreira and Mr. Frederico José Leite Gueiros, both
former presidents of the Federal Regional Court of the Second Region.
Numerous members have completed post-graduate and specialised
coursework at some of the world's top colleges. The team's training
culture differs from other teams in that it is stimulated by academic
practice.

Watson
Cindy
Exemplifying Exceptional Representation,
Exclusively in Union-Side Labour and
Employment Law across Canada
24 | October 2023

Cindy Watson
Founder & Managing Partner
Watson Labour Law

Below are
highlights of
the interview
conducted
between
World's Leaders
and Cindy
Watson:
Describe who you are as a person,
inside and outside of the workplace.
I've always been passionate and driven
about issues I care about. Growing up
in a blue-collar family (in a low-rent
apartment complex with a father who
worked shift work in a paper mill
factory), I felt called to protect the
rights of workers. It was always
instilled in me from a young age that
everyone deserves to be treated with
dignity and respect in the workplace
and beyond. That is a life-long
philosophy I have embraced and
brought to my law practice, zealously
representing trade unions and the rights
of their members.
Describe your background and what
did you do before you started/joined
the company?
Coming from a blue-collar
background, my parents didn't have the
resources to afford a post-secondary
education for me. So, I worked almost
full-time hours waitressing throughout
the school year for my high school,
university, and law school experiences
to earn the money to fund my
education. In the summers, I sought out
relevant work experience, doing an
internship in the Students Training in
Industrial Relations program, working
at employment agencies (both private
and public), and working with a trade
union.
Tell us about the inception of the
company. How did it all start?
I went to law school knowing I wanted
to practice trade union labor law. I
articled at the Labour Relations Board,
and after my call to the bar, I took a
position at a boutique labour law firm.
I was offered a partnership after only 3
years, but while I loved the practice, I
knew I didn't want to do it there.
Everyone thought I was having an
early midlife crisis when I turned it
down and opted to put out my own
shingle. I wanted a firm that was
mission-driven and ideologically
committed to protecting and enhancing
rights for workers and unions.
With the naiveté that comes from
youth, I had no doubt that it would
succeed. In hindsight, I had no equity,
no assurance of clients, no business
plan, or any of the typical minimum
requirements for a business start-up,
but my unshakable confidence in the
power of my mission allowed me to
forge a path to kickstart my own
boutique labor law firm, which quickly
grew (both in size and reputation). We
became known for our passionate
advocacy on behalf of our clients, and
I'm proud to say that reputation
continues.
What has made you successful?
What do you value?
I've always prided myself and our firm
on our core values of integrity, passion,
drive, commitment, and excellence.
That winning combination delivers
consistent, superior results. We believe
in what we do and the important value
it brings, not only to our clients but the
broader community as we advocate for
enhanced rights for workers on a
global level.
Because we are mission-driven, we
aren't motivated by the money. We
pride ourselves on our ability to effect
superior settlements, knowing when
and how to avoid litigation to secure
creative best outcomes and when to
litigate.
Cindy Watson, the founder and managing partner of
Watson Labour Law and a graduate of the renowned
Osgoode Hall, is an experienced and recognized a orney
who has specialized in social jus ce for the past 30 years.
Cindy is a sought-a er corporate trainer and speaker who
works to bridge the gap between men and women in
order to improve produc vity, communica on, and
gender prejudice.
Cindy is commi ed to breaking down barriers, achieving
wage fairness, and pu ng an end to discrimina on. She
has a demonstrated track record of empowering, figh ng
for, and pushing individuals to be the greatest versions of
themselves.
She is a well-known interna onal speaker, author, and
consultant who is recognized for her enthusiasm,
devo on, and ability to inspire.

Which are the major services of the
company and how do they the
company to get ahead in the
competition? What value-added
services does the company provide?
We offer the full range of services to
our trade union clients, including (but
not limited to):
Representation before all labour
tribunals and at all levels of court
Ÿ Grievance & arbitration advocacy
Ÿ Labour Board advocacy
Ÿ Workers compensation matters
Ÿ Disability benefits
Ÿ Equity work
Ÿ Human Rights advocacy
Ÿ Legislative and political lobbying
Ÿ Training & Education programming
We stand out from the competition
given our passionate commitment to
the cause which is reflected in our
advocacy and in our ability to secure
better outcomes without litigation
where appropriate. We tirelessly seek
the best possible results for our clients.
We do so utilizing what we call the Art
of Feminine Negotiation, where we
bring rapport-building, empathy,
flexibility, intuition and trust-building
to the table so our clients get more
creative outcomes with better
relationships, greater buy-in and
longer-lasting agreements.
We think outside the box, looking for
unexamined options for enhanced
solutions. This cooperative versus
competitive approach consistently
yields better experiences and outcomes
for our clients. Having said that, where
necessary we are known for our
exceptional advocacy, where we leave
no stone unturned.
We care about our clients and their
issues. We don't treat them like
numbers.
Unlike most law firms, we also think
proactively, seeking to anticipate issues
and redressing them before they
become conflicts or problems. Our
proactive (vs reactive) approach is
unique in the practice of law and saves
our clients much time, money, angst
and relationships.
Give us your opinion on; do
organizations rely heavily on
individual heroics or team
processes?
Team is key in life generally, in
business organizations, and particularly
for trade unions and service providers
for unions. Unions are based on a
philosophy of solidarity—stronger
together. Individual heroics do not
serve the greater good. Building an
engaged, dedicated, passionate team is
key to success. Studies show that
diversity in thinking allows for more
creative outcomes and better results
(not to mention improved productivity
and efficiency).
Teamwork and the brainstorming it
affords will increase the output of any
organization (both in terms of
quantitative productivity, but perhaps
more importantly, in terms of more
refined, creative, distinctive, move-the-
dial end results).
This holds true generally, and we see it
as particularly important for our law
firm. Unions secure their strength in
numbers. Unions that rely on
individual heroics don't survive. The
law firms that serve trade unions need
to similarly embrace and foster team
environments to deliver the best
possible service, advice, and results.
What are your responsibilities as the
Founder/CEO of the company?
What is the happiest part of your
daily routine?
I'm proud to have built our thriving
practice over the last 30 years. We've
built a reputation for our passion,
integrity, and results. I'm still integrally
involved in the building of our team
and ensuring that our culture continues
to reflect our core values. Hiring our
best team is a key part of that process,
as is fostering relationships with our
long-time clients and building on client
development for the future.
I'm lucky to still be passionate about
representing trade unions. I love the
advocacy, and I particularly love the
exceptional training and education we
offer. Engaging directly with members,
stewards and front-line union reps
feeds me – the energy flows both ways
as we inspire each other in carrying
forward the important work that needs
to be done.
What advice would you give
someone going into a leadership
position for the first time?
Listen. Really listen. Bring empathy to
the table, truly seeking to understand
and meet the needs of others (both
within and outside your organization).
The benefits of this approach cannot be
overstated. Never seek to exert power
over others, but rather, always strive to
achieve power with those you engage
with.

nvironmental issues
Eare becoming worse
and worse. More
than ever, the world is
witnessing the brutality of
environmental
irresponsibility and the
catastrophic repercussions
of climate change, from
coastal erosion to smoggy
skies and disappearing
forests.
Corinne Lepage, a doctor of
law, has developed a
consultancy business that
encompasses strategy and
litigation due to her
experience and kept up with
the major energy,
environmental health, and
environmental files. She
collaborates with large and
small, French and
international, public and
non-profit organizations.
In addition, Corinne oversees significant
environmental, natural, and industrial disaster cases.
She is one of the experts on these subjects in
Europe. She co-founded the Huglo Lepage Avocats
law firm in 1978 with Christian Huglo and held a
number of official positions, including Secretary of
the bar council (1987–1990), Minister of the
environment (1995–1997), Deputy mayor, then First
deputy mayor of Cabourg (1989–2001), and
European deputy (2009–2014). She holds talks a
large corporations on how environmental and
climatic issues have evolved in relation to
commercial concerns.
Huglo Lepage Avocats
The first French public law firm founded by
litigation lawyers was Huglo Lepage Avocats. The
firm still provides advice to public authorities and
organizations today, and the majority of its litigation
work is done in the area of public law, particularly
public business law. One of the firm's most popular
lawsuits was the Amoco Cadiz case, which was
brought before American courts in 1978. Numerous
Environmental law disputes have been handled by
the attorneys at Huglo Lepage Avocats, notably the
defense of Dutch public authorities in relation to
Rhine pollution and German authorities in relation
to French nuclear power stations. The firm now
splits its time between counseling businesses and
municipal governments and litigation, continuing to
develop new fields of law, particularly those
pertaining to climate justice and environmental
health.
Making the difference in Competition
Corinne and her team are adapting to changes by
having a transversal perspective which spans not
only the various legal disciplines but also many
other sectors that are remote from the legal one,
particularly scientific and medical expertise. Huglo
Lepage Avocats has valued greatly reflection and
theory from the beginning and has always seen the
need for legal innovation.

is able to provide services that are
both operational and creative in the
consulting industry thanks to its
unique experience and its work with
non-legal talents.
Holding a Firm Stance
As a partner and the company's
founder, Corinne is primarily
responsible for the continuity of the
business, case generation, and
customer satisfaction. She also
coordinates publications, webinars,
seminars, and other events that the
company attends and participates in.
She believes that running a business
is not easy, and it is even more
difficult now as there are significant
changes in how work is organized
and what customers and staff want.
The most crucial factors are having a
project, knowing how to stick to it,
being practical, and leading a team
because it can only get better as a
whole. Responsibility, competency,
intellectual capacities, ethics, and a
concern for the greater good are the
traits she searches for. She first
conducts collective recruitment when
adding a new team member.
Furthermore, a unique image is
created by the ethics and decision to
protect the environment as broadly as
possible, by incorporating the efforts
made by businesses to transform
themselves, and by refusing to offer
advice to persistent polluters. This
explains why the company is now
focusing on CSR, ESG, and
taxonomy in order to support
businesses and a limited group of
financial players. Huglo Lepage is
responsible for the development of
several significant environmental law
precedents, and its innovative spirit
is still at work today. Additionally, it

Mike Mellor
At Pryor Cashman, a full-service
award-winning legal practice with
approximately 200 attorneys in NYC,
Miami, and LA, Mike Mellor serves as
the Chief Marketing and Business
Development Officer. He enjoys
making connections between those
with the potential to help them and
those that want to be exceptional.
Mike has more than 20 years of
experience in professional services marketing, the last 12 of
which he spent in a legal company. He began his career in the
marketing of financial services, then transitioned to Big Four
consultative marketing at KPMG before moving into the legal
field. Before joining Pryor Cashman, where he has worked as
CMBDO for the past seven years, he practiced law at two
other law firms.
Below are highlights of the interview conducted between
World's Leaders and Mike Mellor:
Describe who you are as a person, inside and outside of the
workplace.
I am committed, passionate, and genuine in all facets of my
life, and I like to attack life with enthusiasm, humor, and joy.
Inside the workplace, I am focused on building a business
development culture that is collaborative and uses technology
to automate as many mundane tasks as possible; like most law
firms, we continue to find it challenging to create and deploy a
single version of the truth. Outside of the workplace, I love
live music, watching football, traveling, and exploring
different cultures. I love making people smile.
A Legal Marketing Professional with the Vision of
Business Transformation
A

Tell us about the inception of the
company. How did it all start?
The firm started in 1963 as a
powerhouse
music/media/IP/litigation boutique,
and we have grown to be a true full-
service midsize firm with over 200
attorneys in New York, Los Angeles,
and Miami. In fact, one of our
founding fathers, Gideon Cashman,
still comes into the office regularly,
walking about a mile each way.
Serving as the firm's General
Counsel, Gideon is brilliant and
serves as an inspiration to all of us
(especially the litigators, who seek
his wisdom to help with thorny
issues). We continue to evolve
alongside our clients to stay ahead of
the curve with both transactional and
litigation matters, and our firm size
enables us to adapt quickly to
changing market conditions. This
was a key to our success during
COVID.
What has made you successful?
What do you value?
Personally, I think my drive is what
has made me the most successful—I
am wholly committed to driving
revenue in any way possible to
improve the firm's financial
position—and this can take many
forms! It starts with being passionate
enough to constantly be a student of
the firm, the practices, and the
industries. It's a lot to drink in, but I
find myself constantly Googling
acronyms, industry developments,
and reading other firms' client alerts a
few hours a day. Being informed is
the only way to continuously add
value in such a wide-ranging and
dynamic field.
Which are the major services of
the company and how do the
company to get ahead in the
competition? What value-added
services does the company
provide?
It really is a full-service firm—we
protect our clients' interests in
everything from forming, funding,
and buying or divesting assets on the
corporate side to partnership, royalty
and other litigation issues. Of course,
we augment these pillars with
services related to labor,
immigration, intellectual property,
real estate, tax, trusts and estates,
family and matrimonial issues, and
insurance reviews. We work in a
number of industries and work with
everyone from entrepreneurs to high
net worth celebrities and athletes to
Fortune 500 behemoths and small
startups. Every day is something new
and exciting because of our midsize
advantage, because the platform the
firm is built on allows us to deploy
our abilities in a lot of contexts.
What are the most important
aspects of a company's culture?
What principles do you believe in
and how do you build this culture?
It sounds simple, but in many
companies and firms it isn't so easy:
Don't be a jerk. That mantra has
served Pryor Cashman very well over
the past 60 years! While we want our
attorneys to vigorously protect our
clients' interests in the boardroom
and in the courtroom, being a good
lawyer isn't mutually exclusive from
being a good person to be around.
Because of our size, it's a place
where everyone knows each other
quite well, and the message from the
top has consistently been: Be nice to
others, be collaborative, and punch
above our weight to out-go toe to toe
with larger firms. Bigger is not
always better, especially in law
firms!
What is the significance of
innovative ideas in the company?
At Pryor Cashman, we create and
demonstrate innovation in many
ways, but most notably around the
metaphorical water cooler and within
informal subject-matter pods and
settings. Our client bases share
common interests, and it's not
uncommon to see lawyers from our
fashion, music, and art groups come
together around the latest market
innovations. From unique strategic
branding partnerships and royalty
agreements to collaborations that can
thrive in the new age of the
metaverse and NFTs, we are
constantly sifting through our best
ideas to contextualize them in ways
that serve a specific client's needs.
It's all about creating those
communication frameworks and
letting our attorneys geek out
together.
Give us your opinion on; do
organizations rely heavily on
individual heroics or team
processes?
While the easy answer is
collaboration, I would be remiss if I
didn't mention the folks in our
leadership who are driving the firm
forward on a daily basis. It takes
leaders to propel the agendas and the
strategy, giving the group the motive,
means, and opportunity to develop
44 | October 2023

the execution for the clients. Positioning, thought
leadership, and smart tactics to take market share from
our competition are best developed in smaller rooms,
with everyone pitching in to bring the project to a
successful outcome. I feel that we balance the concepts
of entrepreneurialism and collaboration very well at
Pryor Cashman.
What are your responsibilities as the CMBDO of the
company? What is the happiest part of your daily
routine?
The things I enjoy most are helping people achieve their
business goals. Whether that's long-range planning,
brainstorming new ways to reach their ideal clients, or
helping to hold them accountable to task, I enjoy
watching the firm's attorneys grow, spread the word
about our offering, and become power users of our
marketing and BD resources. As they say in legal, the
best compliment you can get is more work. The happiest
part of my routine is getting awesome emails about my
marketing colleagues who have helped to drive business,
gain market or mind share, or do things to spread our
message and elevate our brand. I keep them all in a
folder to cheer me up on rainy days!
What advice would you give someone going into a
leadership position for the first time?
Read everything you can, try to be a servant-leader, and
encourage your teams to challenge you. Just because I'm
the head of the group doesn't mean I know everything; in
fact, I try to empower my teammates who are in the daily
grind to constantly improve our processes and
procedures. We write our processes in pencil, and the joy
of working together is knowing there's always an
interesting new problem to solve.
