What advice would you give to young lawyers? My journey to partnership at Schulte was not a linear path. I was open to different opportunities and other potential career changes along the way, and I also took a break a few years ago to welcome a child into my life. Through the years, I have grown personally and professionally with the help of many mentors and colleagues, and I would encourage young lawyers to actively seek mentorships.
