As part of Schulte Roth & Zabel’s ongoing efforts to address the unique experiences of women in the legal profession, the firm gathered an inspiring group of SRZ women partners from the firm’s DEI Committee   ̶  Taleah Jennings, Kelly Koscuiszka, Kara Kuchar, Annie Mehlman and Heather Wyckoff  ̶  and asked them to share their personal journeys and career insights with SRZ women lawyers.

The partners’ invaluable advice included:

• “Understand the business of your law firm and how what you do fits into that model.” – Taleah

• “Embrace mistakes and talk to people about your failures.” – Kelly

• “Doing your actual work day-to-day is networking.” – Kara

• “Male counterparts are saying that they want to be partner and asking if that is possible. You should too.” – Annie

• “Maintaining your network on a personal level is just as important to your success as your professional network.” – Heather

The panel was moderated by associate Jessica Berman and law clerk Sarah Winkelstein.
