Litigation partner Renata Hesse, co-head of S&C’s Antitrust Group, was named to Profiles in Diversity Journal’s list of “Women Worth Watching.” This annual list highlights “outstanding women leaders” who “welcome new, even unexpected challenges.” As part of her profile, Renata contributed an essay on “Gender Bias and Women Attorneys,” in which she discusses the challenges women still face in the corporate workplace.
Renata discusses the value of mentorship in mitigating those challenges: “You will be surprised by how something as simple as a listening ear can have a deep effect on the work life of a young woman. And you’ll be doubly surprised to see how when you open yourself up—without preconceptions—to your younger colleagues, you start to see the bigger picture, and things start to change.”
