Making Biglaw Partner In The Time Of COVID

Yes, the world is in turmoil but that doesn't mean your career has to be.

JAB100-SOCIAL (LINFBTW)In The Jabot’s 100th episode, I am joined by Jennifer Schramm, a partner at King & Spalding. We discuss Jennifer’s career highs and lows, and how she balances her professional life with other interests. Jennifer also speaks about what it was like to make partners during a pandemic, and how to make the best of your career during tumultuous times.

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!
