In this Big Law Life episode, host Laura Terrell discusses remote work, career transitions, and strategic moves with Husch Blackwell's Jessica Brown, a labor and employment attorney, and member of The Link, the firm's virtual office.
Part of Jessica's journey in the law has included taking time away from practice to be a stay-at-home mom when her children were younger, along with a relocation that took her family from Washington, D.C. to Arizona. She has since returned to full-time legal practice, has sought to intentionally develop a career that is aligned with her strengths and values, and now works full-time remote through the Link.
Jessica shares her career journey, the flexibility of Husch Blackwell in accommodating life changes, the rarity of fully remote work in BigLaw and her firm’s approach, and her efforts toward obtaining a coaching certification to work with female attorneys seeking more work-life balance.
