Q & A

What do you find most rewarding about corporate law?

I have a passion for helping early stage companies with their planning with an eye towards their long-term success. For such promising young companies, the breadth of critical issues - and the interesting intellectual aspects attending them - ranges from corporate governance to partnering and joint venture arrangements, and various types of capital raises, among many others. Helping clients navigate all these moving parts to make their ventures a success is challenging and exhilarating, but also demonstrates that skilled counsel is necessary from the earliest stages.

How does Bilzin Sumberg support the growth of its talent?

Bilzin Sumberg places a strong emphasis on mentorship and training, which has been enormously helpful in building the skills that clients consider critical for their matters. The mentorship from senior partners, in particular, has been valuable for my professional development. I find that such mentorship-focused professional development helps strengthen my ability to anticipate client needs for a given matter and act accordingly.
