This week's podcast is a conversation between Law.com business of law reporter Patrick Smith and Stephanie Biderman, a managing director of global consultancy Major Lindsey & Africa.

They dive into the topic of associate life during COVID-19. From pay cuts and decreased work to sluggish professional development and a lack of work-life balance, it's fair to say the pandemic has been particularly difficult for many young lawyers. In this episode, Biderman, who works in Major Lindsey's associate practice group, discusses the challenges young attorneys have faced at a time of heightened uncertainty and anxiety in the legal profession and beyond.
