After a lively Q&A session with the audience, the conversations continued during the reception, with the panelists speaking one-on-one with guests while sharing additional insights and personal anecdotes of their experiences in the legal industry. Panelists included: Eileen Brumback, General Counsel, GE Aviation; Pamela Kain , North America General Counsel, Cushman & Wakefield; Elizabeth Leckie , Partner, Finance and Restructuring, New York, Allen & Overy LLP; Amy Leder , New York Executive Partner and Co-Leader of Corporate, M&A, and Securities Practice Group, Northeast Region, Holland & Knight LLP; Laura Metzger , Partner, Restructuring and Office Leader, New York, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliff LLP; and Leslie Minier , Partner and Chief Diversity Partner, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP; and moderated by Sherry Cushman , Executive Managing Director & Leader,

Legal Sector Advisory Group, Cushman & Wakefield. Feedback from both panelists and attendees of the series over the years has been tremendous. As one attendee noted, “I truly believe that it is through the sharing of stories and experiences, that we will turn the dial on women in leadership at all levels of an organization and in our communities. There were great examples of leadership on the panel and it was an honor to hear them as well as members of the audience who were leaders in their own right. Thank you for a truly wonderful and worthwhile event.” Cushman & Wakefield plans to continue and yet again expand our Women in Law event series in 2019. We look forward to hosting our first west coast event at the brand-new Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, CA on June 10, 2019.
