![]() 3,000 attorneys in 40 countries. But how do the relationships start that lead to those global connections? They start with an introduction, a handshake, a face-to-face meeting. That's why in 2016, Primerus is offering more opportunities than ever for clients to meet trusted Primerus attorneys from around the globe in low-pressure, educational and social environments. It worked for Jim Woody, senior manager of liability claims and litigation with Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated, the United States' largest Charlotte, North Carolina. Woody, a client of Primerus member firm Christian & Small in Birmingham, Alabama, attended two Primerus Defense Institute (PDI) Convocations and one PDI Transportation Seminar. Since then, he's become a self-described "big Primerus fan," looking to Primerus when he needs legal representation. "I was very impressed with the skill level and quality of the attorneys I met there," Woody said. "I left with both friendships and business relationships." Over the past 16 years, Woody has the 12 southeastern states where he has bottling contracts with Coca-Cola. But now, as his business will nearly double in the coming 18 months and expand to new areas, he will rely on Primerus to find the trusted attorneys he needs. "With the Six Pillars of Primerus, I feel confident that the integrity and thought process of Primerus attorneys is very consistent with what I think is a good legal process," Woody said.
