What advice would you offer to new attorneys interested in your field?

Your abilities have brought you this far – remain confident in that. Continue to hone your talents by taking advantage of the breadth of training resources that are available to you, not only within your organization, but otherwise. There is no need to reinvent yourself. Instead, focus on improving upon what has made you successful up to this point. Finally, utilize those in and outside of your network who have walked in your shoes before. Several attorneys are willing (and delighted) to mentor junior attorneys. Don’t be afraid to ask!
