In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Leslee Cohen discuss:

• Building your own book of business to have freedom, including in a large firm. 
• Finding what makes you unique and differentiates you in the market, then understanding how to communicate that difference. 
• Joining and being fully involved in organizations. 
• Giving leadership roles to those who may not yet have a book of business. 

Key Takeaways:

• You need to believe in yourself and understand that you are, truly, bringing value to the table. 
• It is all about giving - you just have to help others and you will always get something back. People remember a giver, they don’t remember a taker. 
• Law firms can benefit from amazing women lawyers, even those who want to work part time. 
• Your job is more than just being a good lawyer. You have to keep business development and relationship building in mind from day one. 

"Without your own book of business, you only get so far within the ranks of a larger law firm." —  Leslee Cohen
