In an article published in The American Lawyer, Partner Jessica Lewis and Counsel Sonia Sujanani discuss the reality of motherhood in law, the “motherhood advantage” and how to create a more inclusive legal profession.
Excerpt: “Motherhood cultivates an ability to bounce back from setbacks, persevere under pressure, and keep moving forward despite exhaustion or uncertainty. It provides us with a sense of purpose and taps a deep well of strength. In the fast-paced world of law, this mental toughness is invaluable. Whether helping a client navigate crises, maintaining focus in a tough trial or overcoming setbacks in a case, the resilience developed through motherhood strengthens our capacity to succeed when the stakes are high.”
