For our Season One finale, we sit down with Julie Jones, chair of Ropes & Gray, the venerable law firm founded in 1865 that today is a $2 billion enterprise with over 1500 hundred lawyers. Julie is the first woman to lead the firm, and we discuss her elevation to Chair in 2020 just as the world and business leaders faced unprecedented challenges. We talk about how she prepared and marketed herself with intention early in her career on her way to becoming one of the world's preeminent M&A lawyers, her experience as one of the inventors of the reverse termination fee, and how she's adjusted from being a lawyer to being a leader. We also learn about her firm's response to covid, how she approaches speaking authentically on divisive issues, and the advice she received from Lloyd Blankfein.
