Law/Patents - Law (general)
English term or phrase: has called the important shots
It is evident that XYZ was in charge of the main aspects of the Chilean case. He referred to the Chilean lawyers as his “local counsel.” They often referred to him as the “cabeza,” or head, of the team. From the time the case was filed in [insert LOCATION] until at least quite recently, and perhaps even until today, XYZ has supervised the Chilean legal team, set deadlines, was involved in setting the lawyers’ salaries, reviewed their court filings, directed the legal strategy, and coordinated the work between the lawyers in Chile and the scientists, experts, lawyers, litigation funders, politicians, and media consultants throughout the world. In addition, he communicates extensively with the press, making tactical decisions. He largely has controlled the money. Hence, the Court finds that it has been XYZ who, from the very beginning of the [insert LOCATION] case, has called the important shots.

tem decidido as medidas importantes


Explanation:
O tempo do verbo é específico aqui.
Não está no passado.

Além disso, na frase anterior, já aparece o termo "decisions" (In addition, he communicates extensively with the press, making tactical decisions.), pelo que convém não repetir exatamente a mesma palavra.
