A&O’s US corporate partner on carrying Dan Cunningham’s bag and wandering attention

Why did you become a lawyer? I come from a family of doctors, nurses, lab technicians and hospital administrators. When I was nine my dad, an orthopaedic surgeon, took me into the operating room to watch him do a hip replacement – I pretty much decided on the spot that I wasn’t going to be a doctor. As an undergraduate at Yale, I gravitated to philosophy as my major, and that interest led to the law.
