“Passion for Problem Solving”
Tax Diversity, March 10, 2010
Kristen Hazel was profiled for her two decades of tax law practice in which she has had “the best of both worlds” working both within McDermott and with the in-house tax departments of her corporate clients. Such a strong business emphasis has given her an entrepreneurial focus. “In the environment where I have been practicing,” Ms. Hazel said, “it is truly your capabilities that are assessed and if you have the capacity to do the work that is required, that is what is going to help you progress.” She advised young lawyers to develop a passion for their own careers, saying: “You should wake up in the morning and think, ‘This is my challenge for the day. And I’m excited about it.’”
