Dani.
I used to think that many of the things that made me the lawyer I am were weaknesses.
I refused to be aggressive for the sake of it.
Weakness.
People always said I was too nice to be a lawyer.
Weakness.
I wanted more facts before I gave advice.
Weakness.
I believed clients deserved the truth, even when it wasn’t what they wanted to hear.
Weakness.
I assumed I hated the billable hour because I just hated tracking my time.
It was more than that.
I spent more than fifteen years practicing global disputes at White & Case LLP.
I’m the lawyer I am because of my time there.
Maybe the most important thing I learned was that the instincts I’d spent years questioning were the reason I served my clients well.
At one point I thought I’d stop practicing law.
I couldn’t see a way to practice that aligned with who I am, what I value, and how I want to show up for my clients.
I never wanted to own a law firm.
I do want to be the lawyer I am.
That’s Audette Law.
