Law and KnittingA woman after my own heart. She left a promising mergers & acquisitions career at Dewey Ballantine to open a knitting shop, which did OK for a couple of years, but then decided to return to her M&A practice, where they were happy to welcome her back. At the verge of rejoining Dewey, she found that the partner she worked for was moving to Weil Gotshal, so she went with him. She was 8 weeks pregnant at the time. Last year she had another baby. This year she's making partner at Weil. She says she still knits occasionally when a conference call goes on too long.
Too many lawyers underestimate the appeal of the textile crafts.
