Description: 
While almost all successful career transitions require a great deal of time and effort, pursuing a role with an AmLaw firm can feel particularly challenging for those who began their legal careers in different environments, such as government or public interest roles, or for those working at smaller or mid-sized law firms. So many positions indicate a strong preference for prior experience in a large law firm that you may question whether it is a worthwhile pursuit.  Come hear from associates who made the transition and learn the secret to landing with an AmLaw firm regardless of where you began your career.

Webinar for the Women’s White Collar Defense Association

As we navigate the current landscape of a world shaken by a global pandemic, many of us are noticing the constant need to pivot. Should you network differently online to build new relationships? Alter your legal practice to satisfy existing clients and acquire new ones as their focuses shift? Consider an entire career change as you see future opportunities with new and different industries or practice areas? This program will discuss the various ways we can use our existing personal and professional resources to make these pivots, now and in the future. It will also discuss how to develop new habits and ways of working so that we remain prepared to pivot, whenever necessary.

Webinar for the Delaware State Bar Assn - Women and the Law Section

How can we enhance existing client relationships beyond doing great legal work? This program focuses on the various ways we can strengthen existing, and build new, connections in thoughtful, intentional ways, without having to be face-to-face. We will share actionable ideas that can escalate your business currently, and benefit your practice in a post-pandemic world.
