Strategies for REAL Women Lawyers!

Join us today for Women Lead Radio as Joanie Connell, your host of REAL Life Lessons, interviews Kathi Vidal, Managing Partner at Winston & Strawn LLP.

How did our leading lady become one of the leading patent litigators in the country and a managing partner at one of the leading law firms in the country?  Tune in to hear Kathi Vidal’s REAL Life story.  We’ll talk about what it takes to be a top women lawyer and the challenges of having a life and kids while doing it.  We’ll also hear Kathi’s well-earned advice for aspiring women lawyers and how she advocates for women in law.

Kathi Vidal is one of the leading patent litigators in the country, and she is the managing partner of Winston & Strawn’s Silicon Valley office.  Kathi is nationally recognized for trying high-profile, high-stakes, high-tech patent disputes. She advises clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups on intellectual property matters. Inside and outside of the courtroom, she is often called upon as an expert on case strategy and hot topics in the law. 

Joanie Connell is your host for REAL Life Lessons, a show where REAL (resilient, empowered, authentic, limber) women speak about what it takes to be successful in the real world. Using the REAL Life model, Dr. Connell, author of Flying without a Helicopter, interviews highly successful women about the unanticipated aspects of work life that no one prepared us for.  Though important for everyone, these lessons are particularly useful for women who were raised by helicopter parents, women who didn’t learn life’s lessons growing up in a protected world.
