About the Resourceful Lawyer
Law Firm Guidance by a Resourceful Lawyer
Hi, I’m Katherine, the Resourceful Lawyer.
I entered the legal field as an outsider, coming from a teaching background with no connections to law. This may explain why my law firm journey was filled with what I thought were “mistakes” – like expressing concern about balancing a career and family. Despite being recognized as a capable lawyer, I was told I lacked the “right personality” for partnership and left, believing the fault was mine.
Over time, I realized many women lawyers shared similar experiences. I became determined to tap into this potential and redefine success in law firms. My breakthrough came with design thinking, a problem-solving approach used by innovative companies. Initially skeptical about its relevance to law, I soon recognized its transformative power for leadership and equity in the legal profession.
Leveraging my insights into mid-sized law firms and my commitment to equity, I developed a framework for people-centered strategies that enhance equity, retention, and profitability. I look forward to sharing this framework and working towards a more equitable profession.
