How I Made Practice Group Chair: ‘You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader,’ Says Kristen Limarzi of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher

“I think it’s important to remember that you don’t need a title to be a leader. I would encourage those who are passionate about their practice to remember that, fundamentally, this role is about communicating and connecting people. One doesn’t need to wait for an official appointment to begin honing these skills. Instead, start being thoughtful about building relationships inside and outside the firm.”
