Begley takes particular interest in developing associates in all aspects of their careers—not only in the practice of law, but also in related areas crucial to their success in Big Law—client relationship management, business development, billing practices and cross-selling.

She has a reputation as a formidable litigator and advocate. While her focus is always on ensuring a successful resolution for her client, she also treats complex matters as opportunities for mentoring or training—demonstrating how to litigate effectively with style and class while maintaining respectful relationships with opposing counsel; how to write persuasively and effectively; how to develop and test strategic arguments; and how to listen to and understand client needs and expectations. It is not only the lessons that Begley teaches, but her hands-on, learn-by-doing approach that yields not only successful associates, but also teaches her mentees the art of being an effective mentor. A key aspect of her success as a mentor is her uncanny ability to identify and develop the strengths in each of her mentees—in that way, her mentoring style is highly individualized.
