Claire was asked what advice she would give women law students and junior lawyers for a successful legal career. Her response was to, “Seize opportunities when they present themselves even if you don’t think you are fully ready yet. Of course do your homework and prepare thoroughly but stretch assignments are just that – a stretch. Push yourself and you will be rewarded with a great sense of satisfaction and more importantly an opportunity to learn about yourself under pressure – as well as some new skills or domain expertise.”
