Last week, we had the privilege of hosting an insightful Networking & Professionalism Panel with incredible attorneys who shared their experiences navigating the legal field as underrepresented professionals. They offered valuable advice on building strong networks, advocating for yourself, and overcoming barriers in the industry. A huge thank you to our panelists Briana August, Kandace Walter, and Preston Tyson for their time and wisdom, and to all our members who attended and engaged in these important conversations!

Well, everyone has seen that 2025 Best Lawyers is out. I've seen posts ranging from the "I'm honored, humbled, grateful, [insert all the grateful-sounding words here], etc. . . . " to "don't worry if you didn't make the list; these lists don't mean anything." If you weren't nominated, know that you have value!! How you work with people, your work product, and your client service is more important than being on a list. Also, funny story about these lists . . . I have been recognized as One to Watch for construction, corporate, and tax law. Corporate and tax law make sense, but at some point in my career, at least one of my peers nominated me for construction law. Here's the thing: I do NOT practice construction law. I've worked on deals in the construction space, but I'm not a construction lawyer. Nevertheless, thank you to my peers and colleagues who have nominated me over the years!! May we celebrate and be thankful but continue to focus on providing excellent client service and work product.
Steptoe & Johnson PLLC is proud to have more than 145 lawyers recognized in the 2025 editions of The Best Lawyers in America? and the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch? in America. View the full list here: https://lnkd.in/eBkN6SiC

"[A]dvocate for issues that matter to you and your community. The journey may be challenging, and you may often feel like you are spinning your wheels, but stay focused on your goals." In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we're proud to feature a profile of appellate superstar Stacy Leeds, Dean of Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. We've shared just one excerpt of Dean Leeds's reflections below, but you can read all of her responses on the Our Community page: https://lnkd.in/eXQ4jgci Q: What advice would you give to a law student of color who aspires to be where you are now? A: Be true to yourself and don’t try to change who you are to meet unrealistic external expectations. Your background and experiences are your greatest strengths and your unique perspectives will be at a premium at some point of your career. Most importantly, advocate for issues that matter to you and your community. The journey may be challenging, and you may often feel like you are spinning your wheels, but stay focused on your goals. A wise mentor once told me something that has proven true so many times. 'You can’t always control the timing of opportunities, but you can absolutely control how prepared you will be when that opportunity comes.' #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NativeAmericans #AppellateLinkedIn #lawschool
