Earlier this year, we asked a number of our Professional Excellence honorees for advice.
We asked our Lifetime Achievement Award honorees what is one piece of advice you would give someone entering into the profession that you wish you had as a young lawyer? We also asked our Diversity and Inclusion Champion and Most Effective Dealmaker honorees what is one piece of advice you would give someone that you wish you had starting out?
The answers we received were often illuminating and, taken together, provide a solid road map for navigating not just the legal profession but, in many cases, life. We’ve gathered the responses here in the hope that our readers — young lawyers and established practitioners alike — will be encouraged, inspired and empowered.
