Cultivating Communities For Women 

In this episode, Anne Cappella, a Partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, discusses forming supportive networks to develop and advance career growth in the legal industry. Anne has developed a unique skill set by integrating her intellectual property background with her prior experience as an engineer and consultant for IBM. This has enabled her to develop a successful litigation and arbitration practice in the federal courts and before the U.S. International Trade Commission. But talent alone will only get you so far. Listen as Anne shares insights on how creating and nurturing a strong network of trusted advisors propelled her career, and how she in turn, is actively involved in a number of initiatives aimed at bettering the careers of other women lawyers.
