Legal Services
As my father was a senior partner at a small litigation law firm in New York City, I spent most of my summers during high school and college working for him, first as a legal assistant and then as a paralegal. A decade later, my boss at Publicis Dialog, the PR arm of mega communications agency Publicis, capitalized on my knowledge of legal issues and comfort around attorneys by giving me oversight for managing the account of and relationship with Seattle law firm Preston Gates & Ellis (now K&L Gates). When I decided to leave the PR agency to secure a senior-level corporate communications position in-house, inevitably, I found myself drawn to law firms, working at three AmLaw 100 firms based in New York City. Below are just some examples of the PR and content marketing materials I produced.
