For a recent episode of the “Mentorship Matters with Dave & Liz” podcast, Liz and I spoke with one of my most influential mentors, Meredith Cross, who is a partner at WilmerHale, a former Director of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance and a regular contributor to our webcasts and conferences. Check out this 27-minute podcast to hear:

1. The role that mentors have played in Meredith’s career.
2. Meredith’s advice to young lawyers seeking to pursue securities law as a career.
3. Challenges that Meredith has faced over the course of her career, and how mentors helped her overcome those challenges.
4. How mentorship in private practice compares to mentorship in the government.
5. Any particular considerations for women seeking mentors in the legal profession, as well as for women who are mentoring other women lawyers.
6. Notable developments over the course of Meredith’s career in terms of the advancement of women in the legal profession.

Thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast! If you have a topic that you think we should cover or guest who you think would be great for the podcast, feel free to contact Liz or me by LinkedIn or email.
