March is Women’s History Month, and to celebrate The Legal Intelligencer interviewed some prominent women in the legal industry to share their insights on their challenges, support and successes within this space. These women come from different backgrounds, regions and law firms throughout the country, but they all share two things in common: to reach their ultimate career goals and to help their female colleagues achieve their professional accomplishments as well.
