James A. Ruggieri was recently interviewed on “Executive Suite,” a popular television program featuring leading business figures from Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
He was interviewed in-depth by the program’s anchor Ted Nesi.
The wide-ranging discussion offered an overview of the 17-lawyer firm of Higgins, Cavanagh & Cooney; the firm’s 65 years of service to large corporations, major insurance companies and smaller businesses; the recent relocation of the headquarters within Providence; and the opening of a Boston office.
James Ruggieri also addressed the firm’s ability to serve the litigation needs of larger companies and major insurance carriers doing business in the region in a cost-effective manner with a heightened focus on quality. At one point, he mentioned that clients, both large and small, are demanding greater efficiencies than ever before in their legal representation and how Higgins, Cavanagh & Cooney has embraced that change without effecting quality.
He mentioned how clients are not only very concerned about cost but are risk averse and more willing to seek alternatives to litigation. As a result, he cited how technology, careful case management, and comprehensive settlement and mediation strategies have all contributed toward the goals of meeting both the legal and business needs of clients.
Finally, James Ruggieri was able to review various aspects of the firm’s litigation practice that include general liability, premises liability, construction law, product liability as well as workers’ compensation.
Recent guests on “Executive Suite” have included the CEOs of Hasbro and A.T. Cross. The program is presented by the Providence affiliates of CBS and Fox.
