“My journey at ABL has been an immersive experience. ABL’s flatter structure empowers lawyers to develop as trusted advisers, encouraging ownership of complex problems. For me, the opportunity to work on ‘bet the farm’ transactions, to lean into conversations with key decision makers and to learn from market leading practitioners, has enabled me to become deeply invested in the outcomes I strive to deliver for my clients and my team.”
