Host Sydney Marino continues the “expectations vs. reality” conversation with colleagues Liz Lenivy, Elizabeth McNulty, Katie St. John, and Mary Simon, shifting focus from early survival mode to whether the career itself has matched expectations. The group tackles being underestimated as young and often female attorneys, with Mary reframing it as “a massive superpower” while others note the subtler disrespect of opposing counsel routing communications to a more senior male colleague instead of the woman actually running the case. Several attorneys share strategies for correcting that dynamic, from senior attorneys setting the tone early to directly redirecting communication.
