As a law student, New Britain’s Adrian Baron aimed to work for a large corporate law firm. But his career plans changed after he went to work for an environmental litigation clinic run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Baron, now an attorney at the three-lawyer Podorowsky Thompson & Baron, came away with the belief that working for a smaller firm would mean more flexibility and more opportunity to tackle important issues. It’s also allowed him to work with a broad range of clients. “What I like about the small law firm I work for is I was thrown into it and had the opportunity do different types of law,” said Baron. “I have a friend who worked for a large law firm and he wasn’t allowed to have much contact with clients and the only time he was in court was for his own divorce.”
