Ty Lord of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton has mentored many lawyers. Here is what four of them had to say:

• "She does not hesitate to tell you when you're doing well or if you seem overwhelmed."
• "She pushes me to take on more responsibility and coaches me through those (often intimidating) next steps."
• "When it came time to pitch the work, Ty worked with me in excruciating detail to develop a plan and explain the process. It was Ty's investment in my career and her coaching that helped me develop and hone my skills as attorney."
• "In addition to the benefits I've received from the advice she's given me, I've become a better supervisor and mentor because of her example."

What do inexperienced lawyers need the most in their careers, and how much can a mentor give them that, as opposed to letting the mentee experience it on their own?
