Experience
Newal’s approach to problem solving, persuasion, and working with diverse stakeholders to achieve his clients’ goals was shaped by his tenure in the Office of Legal Counsel on the personal staff of U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell from 1977-1979, where he focused on national security and counterintelligence issues, including passage and implementation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Newal was part of the small group of lawyers who met daily for breakfast with the Attorney General.
Newal has represented companies large and small—from Lockheed Martin, AT&T, UPS, Citigroup, and others—to local companies in virtually every industry and all segments of the economy.
