Featured Articles - Issue 11

Advice to Young Lawyers

The legal mavericks featured throughout this issue share the advice their experiences have taught them through the course of their careers:

 

“Be curious and be open to change.” – Deborah Vaughn

 

“To be resilient; you need to be able to withstand the tough times and maintain hope. You just have to maintain the mindset that it’s going to get better, because it will in time and the opportunities will come back.” – Salomon Laguerre

 

“To me, it’s more about making your clients feel safe. They want to trust that you can stay calm, hear them, and make them look good. And I think if you can view yourself as selling your brand and communicating with them in that way, it makes expanding business and selling a lot easier. It’s not just about doing great work. It’s how responsive you are and how you talk to them and how you show yourself as being able to act in times of crisis, etc.” – Raqiyyah Pippins

 

“Be part of the conversation. If you’re excited by your ideas and what you have to offer, share. Don’t take a backseat and don’t hold yourself back. Let it all out. Don’t restrict yourself.” – Jennifer Painter
