Jessica Shillito has been in Big Law since she graduated from Harvard in 2006, but not as a lawyer. She is one of a number of lawyers who've made the hop from the legal side to a non-legal function in a law firm.
After one year of practicing as a labor and employment attorney, Jessica jumped to a recruiting function and built a career as a recruiting and diversity leader at leading law firms.
She now serves as Associate Director of Legal Recruiting and Diversity at Simpson Thacher. Her career arc is a great example of the many non-legal opportunities that exist within Big Law.
In this episode you'll hear about:
- Making the shift from attorney to recruiter inside a large law firm
- Recruiting for BigLaw in the midst of the 2008 recession
- The important efforts large law firms are making to improve diversity among their associates and partners
This was an eye-opening and timely discussion.
We hope you enjoy!
