What’s the most important thing you do in your job?
The most important thing I do in my job is to keep my advice useful and straightforward. Sound legal analysis can be complex, but clients need actionable guidance.
What is one aspect of your profession you would like to change?
Let’s be sure our technology stays in service to our needs and that our efforts are not in service to technology. Email already creates communications clutter and sometimes confuses speed with effectiveness. A good phone call with a client for probing their priorities is often better than a series of emails back and forth.
If you weren’t in this industry, what would you be doing?
If I weren’t in the legal profession, I would still be in an advisory or managerial role of some kind. Active listening, analytical skills, precise communication, and process management are valuable in many situations besides practicing law.
