How does a woman navigate the demanding journey to partnership in big law, and what does it feel like to finally reach that goal? Join me, Emily Logan Stedman, as I share my personal story of achieving partnership at an AmLaw 100 firm.
From the pivotal moments of self-doubt to the triumphant milestone of making partner, I offer insights into the strategic moves and mindset shifts that propelled my career. You'll hear about the importance of billable hours, the value of mentorship, and the relief and pride that accompanied this hard-earned success.
This episode also tackles the realities of gender dynamics in big law, where the disparity between female associates and partners is stark. I'll discuss the unexpected yet profound impact of becoming a role model for female associates and the responsibility that comes with it.
My experiences reveal both the challenges and the opportunities for women in this field, emphasizing the necessity for change to retain and empower more women in big law. Whether you're on your own path to partnership or simply curious about the legal world, my journey offers inspiration and a call to action for a more inclusive legal environment.
