His extensive background makes him a valuable asset for Gibbons as he brings a unique perspective to the table.
During his previous tenure at Gibbons from 2006 to 2008, Solano served as a director, providing guidance to clients on criminal and civil matters. Furthermore, he has had prior experience with the firm as a summer associate and associate, further enhancing his understanding of its operations and culture.
