I interview Lauren Drake and discuss, among other things, how her career evolved to her position at Macrae. We talk about how the “Female Law Firm Leaders Roundtable” — FLFL, known as “falafel” — got started and how the pandemic shaped that launch. We also discuss how FLFL benefits its members and issues tackled by the roundtable over the last year. Additionally, we dive into how women leaders can leverage the hot lateral market to benefit their careers.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Happy listening!
