Practicing IP Law and Balancing Life – A Woman’s Perspective

A panel of women lawyers will share their perspectives on what their day-to-day life entails from what their IP practice encompasses to tips and tricks for how to balance other aspects of life.  The panelists will be of varying experience levels – from junior associates to partners.  They will be from varying industries and law firm types (e.g., big law and boutique firms).  Some panelists are moms (yes, dog moms count), wives, sisters, aunts, or cousins.  The panelists will answer a series of audience-submitted questions on what life is like as women in IP, tips and tricks they’ve learned along the way to balance their lifestyle with their career, and general insight that only women can provide.
A hosted lunch will be included.
