Mentorship emerged as a key theme of Eversheds Sutherland’s first Women in Law Roundtable, part one of a series of panel discussions featuring a number of the firm’s female lawyers in recognition of the accomplishments of the women at Eversheds Sutherland.

This first panel featured partners Dorothy Franzoni, Patricia Gorham, Olga Greenberg, Ling Ling and Mary Monahan, who have all spent the majority
of their careers at the firm. 

This article discusses the key themes of the first panel — the importance of mentorship, how their approach to business development has changed over the years and the need for resiliency as female lawyers.
