When America’s largest cases are on the line, you can bet David Boies is in the mix. Boies is managing partner and chairman at Boies, Schiller & Flexner, and he’s the master of high-stakes litigation, representing the U.S. Department of Justice in its Microsoft antitrust case, Vice President Al Gore in Bush v. Gore, and a host of other bet-the-company litigation. He has been credited with a “chess player’s” sense of playing many moves ahead, and has cultivated a photographic memory as a way of overcoming dyslexia. Among many honors, he has been named “Lawyer of the Year,” by the National Law Journal, runner-up for “Person of the Year,” by Time Magazine (President George W. Bush won).
