Ginni Chen manages the firm's alternative-staffing program, DWTSurge. DWTSurge is a DWT-sourced, vetted, trained, and quality-controlled bench of alternative-career attorneys available to serve the needs of DWT clients and practitioners. When DWT experiences episodic spikes in work, Ginni sources and deploys contractors with the appropriate subject matter expertise to serve as a "flex-up" team. Ginni assists in fulfilling client secondment requests, and also focuses on coordinating flexible, cost-effective legal teams to manage high-volume work streams.
