“ Law presents itself as a set of crystallised and general norms that must be applied daily to each specific case, taking into account the characteristics, purposes, and objectives of each party involved. The role of the lawyer is to listen, perceive the pulse of emotions, analyse the intended objectives, and, rather than merely focusing on the outcome, concentrate on adding value by overcoming the various obstacles that arise. As Albert Einstein once said: 'Try not to become a man of success. Rather, become a man of value' – or in this case, a woman of value!"
