The issue of generational diversity in the workplace has moved to the forefront of my mind as I now find myself, somehow, middle-aged and mid-career. It is a personal identity shift and a consciousness not only about how I carry myself differently as a lawyer, but also about how I am viewed and treated differently by colleagues and clients. My new "meat in the sandwich" vantage point brings with it an appreciation for the difficult transitions we make in the legal profession – both as new lawyers coming up and as senior lawyers entering the twilight of their careers.
