Partner Franca Harris Gutierrez, chair of WilmerHale’s Financial Institutions Practice and co-chair of the Securities and Financial Regulation Practice, discusses her leadership mentality and advice she would give to junior partners in an article posted by Law.com.
Excerpt: I’m a big believer in not cutting corners, especially when putting in the effort to gain recognition from peers and leaders within your chosen field. That’s how I’ve developed my practice these 20-plus years, by first becoming an expert within the banking and financial services industry and then excelling within the field, year in and year out. That led to steady progress and advancement, which provided opportunities to take on greater responsibilities.
