Attorney at Work’s “Women in Law” series focuses on successful women lawyers who have carved a path for themselves in the legal industry and beyond. Meet Michelle Banks.
Michelle Banks took a huge leap early in her career when she accepted an assignment in Tokyo as the only woman lawyer in a company’s legal department. From there to the legal department of an NBA team and then on to a global clothing brand, Michelle has experience in a variety of roles. She says it’s all about trusting yourself and taking advantage of opportunities. Now she is a Strategic Advisor and Coach at BarkerGilmore, where she specializes in executive leadership coaching for women general counsel. Below, we talk with Michelle about her path to success.
