Law360 asked five women attorneys who are succeeding in different male-dominated practice areas, including McCarter patent litigator Kia Freeman, what it’s like to be a woman in those areas.
Kia’s advice: “With regard to mentors, anyone who has a better grasp of even one issue than you do can be your mentor on that issue. I think people don’t appreciate how diverse and plentiful mentors are. It doesn’t have to be the person you hope to be in 10 or 20 years.”
