Gary Levenstein, a partner at Ungaretti & Harris, will be one of our speakers at our Sept. 30 event. There is still time to sign up.
He took some time to answer a few of our questions.
What do you hope people get from your presentation?
I hope that people get comfort, encouragement, hope and ideas.
What is the biggest challenge for lawyers when looking for a position?
The biggest challenge is presenting themselves as viable candidates based on skill, presence, character and attitude. In certain circumstances, it may overcome the lack of their own clients.
What is one piece of advice you have for lawyers looking to make a career transition?
Develop client opportunities or expertise. The best situation would be establishing both ASAP.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your own career?
Survival in recessions.
