Successful women attorneys will share their insights on how to overcome institutional hurdles. The program will feature panels that provide concrete tips and actionable strategies for attorneys at all stages of their careers.&nbsp;

Sonia’s session, “Navigating Past Single Stories,” will take place from 2:05 to 3:05 p.m.

This focused panel will explore how women lawyers navigate professional success while managing layered identities and life experiences.
