Firm leaders just aren’t talking about it. In the quest for unity, they tend to say, ‘Well, it’s just better to not say anything, because I don’t want to offend anyone.’
— Katherine Wilson, co-founder of Fractional CMO, in comments given to the American Lawyer, on the sometimes inelegant way law firm leaders have handled the results of the presidential election. With many lawyers left “reeling,” rather than say nothing, Kristina Lawson, managing partner of Hanson Bridgett, said she’s “focused on creating a supportive environment where [she] had an opportunity to listen to concerns from all points of view and make sure they’re heard, they’re validated and they’re addressed.” How is your firm handling the results of the presidential election with employees?
