"I like to sail close to the wind"

As a sailor I choose a strategy and tactics to reach the right destination. The wind is a given. You cannot change the direction of the wind, but you can change the position of the sails. This is how I see my profession as a lawyer. The facts are established, but with the right legal knowledge and strategy you can set course in whichever direction you want. The aim is to achieve the maximum achievable result, because I like to sail close to the wind. I also think it is important to know the client and their company well so that you work together and build a lasting relationship.
