The Boutique Lawyer Show: How a traumatic event reshaped my perspective


Listen Later

Brigit Rubinstein used to subscribe to the mentality that a good lawyer puts their employer and clients before anything else. A violent attack in her home – as well as hearing the experiences of others – changed that. Content warning: This episode contains content that may be disturbing or distressing to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised. On this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Level Up Legal principal and director Brigit Rubinstein, who reflects on how being the victim of a violent intruder into her home in the middle of the night changed her thinking on what it means to be a good lawyer, and reconsider her leadership approach, particularly now that she runs her own boutique practice. Moreover, the pair discuss how the age of coronavirus has accelerated movement away from such traditional thinking about a lawyer's duties, the practical ways that employers and leaders can better support individual staff members, ensuring clients come along for the ride and ensuring that emerging leaders feel as comfortable and supported as possible.
