Presented by: Corporate and Antitrust Forum

Whether you are a couple of years into your career as a law firm associate, in law school and interested in exploring the litigation space, or pursuing a career in economic consulting, this session will provide key insights on what it is like to start and develop a career in law.  Experienced law firm associates and economists will share their experiences from the beginning of their careers until now—focusing on opportunities, challenges, and pivots they have made along the way. They will cover aspects including navigating the sometimes challenging environment of litigation cases at large law or consulting firms as well as tips on how to create a manageable work-life balance during those busy stretches that inevitably come up.

All attorneys, students, and legal-adjacent professionals, such as economists and discovery experts, are encouraged to join us for this lively, down-to-earth discussion!

Don’t miss this inspiring discussion, which will be followed by a lively Q&A session, as well as opportunities for networking both before and after the panel. Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided. This is your opportunity to engage, learn, and connect with fellow antitrust and litigation attorneys, law students, and industry professionals—including some trailblazers in the field!
