Perspectives on Taking Risks, Working Hard and Embracing Change 

In this episode, Christianne Kerns, Managing Partner at Hahn & Hahn, shares her experiences starting out as a young lawyer in the mid-1980s — a time when many firms were dominated by men, and women rarely made partner. Despite having limited knowledge of the legal field as an undergraduate, Christianne found her way into law and never looked back. Her inspiring story addresses how the legal industry has embraced DE&I over the years while also exploring the responsibility senior leaders share in driving transformative change.
