Q&A
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
A partner I worked with at my first firm told me on my first day on the job “Remember, your legal career is a marathon, not a sprint. Be sure to take the time to build the relationships that will sustain you in the future.” I have tried to take her advice to heart by building a client-focused practice that provides guidance to clients at all stages of their business life-cycle.What’s the biggest mistake attorneys can make?
I think the biggest mistake attorneys can make is viewing their clients’ issues on a deal-by-deal basis, rather than considering the broader context of their clients’ long-term goals and needs.How has your practice changed over the past year?
Definitely in the past year I have seen a shift towards contingent consideration structures like earnouts and rollover equity in M&A deals as a result of rising interest rates and market uncertainty.
