Law firms across the country are
currently promoting lawyers to partner. Here, HFW commodities
partner Ranjani Sundar reflects on having made partner just over
one year ago, what she’s learned and what others must know about
being a new partner.
On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Ms Sundar about life as a commodities lawyer
(particularly during the age of coronavirus), how and when she made
partner, what she has experienced in the 12 months since becoming a
partner, the need for support when stepping into that role and
being able to lean into those support systems.
Ms Sundar also delves into the importance of having mentors whom
you can confide in and trust, being proactive about managing
yourself and your workload, the challenges of building a new
practice, the need to be adaptable and flexible in what that
practice looks like, and her advice for those striving for
partnership in a post-pandemic market.
