Megan’s Legal Practice Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Associate
Finding a job as a summer associate or full-time attorney is a unique process with its own set of rules, and the rules have changed dramatically in recent years. To be successful in finding a job as an attorney, you need to build both your skillset and your network. I began my career in patent litigation at Kirkland & Ellis in New York City, one of the top firms in the country. After I left Kirkland, I moved to various states with my family and created employment opportunities where few opportunities were available. I want to share with you the skills I developed so you will be able to nail your legal acumen and also navigate social and professional situations to develop the career you are looking for. Securing summer and post-graduate employment is now the responsibility of every individual student or attorney, but you don't have to go through the process alone. Whether you help finding opportunities, tips for building connections, a résumé refresh, or edits for a cover letter, I can guide you through the process and share insights that have been successful in navigating my own career as an attorney. I can't wait to help you succeed!
