Walk the walk. Nothing says more about your practice than the quality of the work you do – whether in your writing, dealing with your clients or standing up in court. Treat each opportunity, big or small, as a chance to showcase your strengths and put your best foot forward.

What’s the biggest challenge women lawyers face and how have you surmounted that challenge?

Getting to stand on the frontline. Women lawyers are doing incredible work at all levels. But not enough of these talented women hold leadership roles in big cases or get substantial court time at trial or in major hearings. I was lucky enough to practice as a young lawyer at Susman Godfrey, which fostered those opportunities very early on, and it has always served (and remains) a priority for me as a woman in the profession.
