In this episode of Trial Lawyer View, host Jason D. Lazarus speaks with Megan Whiteside of Brown & Barron, LLC and host of the Mom Life and Law Podcast. They talk about prioritizing the passions in life, her knowing at 15 years old that she was going to be a litigator, and how being a parent doesn’t detract from your dedication to your job. They also delve into her experience as a woman in a male-dominated profession. She talks about how her experiences have led to her partnering with other women to put on events to advance women in trial law, as well as encouraging the discourse about the need for law firms to be more inclusive when it comes to gender.
