How This Argentina-Born Lawyer Built Her Firm From Scratch in a Niche Market
This week on Powerhouse Lawyers we welcome OG Powerhouse, Gabriela Smith! [04:29] Gabriela shares her story of transitioning out of big law and into firm ownership [09:44]. Being a firm owner is hard, add the identities of mom and immigrant to the mix and you’ve got yourself a recipe for practicing resilience. But Gabriela’s entrepreneurial journey wasn’t so streamlined. She tried practicing with a boutique firm before taking her entrepreneurial leap. [19:42] Her secret weapon is actually one I haven’t quite heard before. Are you creating your own universe? Gabriela swears by it! [39:49] We get into what it looks like to surround ourselves with the right people [45:51]. Your community can often be the ones that make or break your vision. Then finally, Gabriela’s Legally Blonde Moment! [52:29] If you were ever talking to Gabby on the phone circa 2004, just know she was doing her best!
