What advice would you give to young lawyers? You are the master of your career. Ask for work that interests you. Be brave and develop in expertise in areas that peak your curiosity, even if others have not yet traversed the space. Above all, the legal industry is a service one, which means providing outstanding customer service to your clients should be your top priority.
