Ruthanne Gordon, Berger Montague

Gordon's long-running counsel, advice and support has enormously benefited many younger female attorneys. Candice J. Enders, a shareholder in the firm's antitrust practice group, had this to say about Gordon: "Ruthanne actively mentored me for the last 17 years. She has been instrumental in the development of my legal skills, repeatedly sitting side-by-side with me to discuss ways to improve my writing or other skills. But she has also mentored me in a lot of other 'soft' skills, like establishing and maintaining strong relationships with co-counsel and developing my voice within the Firm." Caitlin G. Coslett, another antitrust shareholder, stated: "I have been extremely fortunate to have had Ruthanne as a mentor since my first year at the Firm. Ruthanne has spent countless hours giving me meaningful and useful substantive feedback on my performance, the encouragement to take on more sophisticated work, and the confidence I needed to advance my career and grow at the firm. It's amazing to think that Ruthanne has mentored so many other attorneys—including numerous junior women attorneys—as well."
