As #LaddHerUp draws to a close, we're so grateful for the opportunities we've had to learn from women leaders and grow our own skills.   Today we heard from phenomenal women in leadership about making it to the top of law firm leadership and cultivating mentors and sponsors. Associates also got the chance to learn from speed coaching with General Counsel.   We can't wait for next year! 

What a day at #LaddHerUp! We have loved meeting all of this year's associates and learning from our amazing speakers.    Our associates had the chance to meet in small groups with General Counsel for career discussions, build relationships through fun recreational outings, and hear from our inspiring keynote speaker: Deborah Telman, Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and General Counsel at Gilead Sciences.    Thank you to Kirkland & Ellis for sponsoring our keynote dinner! 

We're only halfway through Day 1 of #LaddHerUp, and it's already been an incredible experience!   We've heard from inspiring speakers about personal branding, strategic networking, and how to build your career journey. And there's so much more to come! 

We are so excited to be launching LaddHer Up today!    Over 100 law firm associates will be joining us for this incredible retreat over the next few days.
