With early family roots as coal miners in Pennsylvania, Bill Farrell’s father was able to go on to become president and CEO of one of the largest U.S. trade organizations. By watching his father’s success in both business and family matters, Bill was able to learn lessons and emulate a goal of integrity, self-reliance, and humility. Bill went on to have a successful law firm career but had a significant career and life experience when he became a criminal prosecutor in Cook County, Chicago, Illinois. He later transitioned his people-listening skills and strength in understanding client motivations on a very personal level into his commercial litigation work and later in his role as managing director and general counsel at Longford Capital, a litigation funding company.
