Private Funds Partner Deborah Gruen was featured in a Q&A in Legal Business surrounding International Women’s Day, in which she reflected on topics including the key skills needed to thrive in corporate law and the importance of setting personal goals. She further discussed the trajectory of her legal career and shared her advice for aspiring young lawyers. Deborah, a former Paralympic swimmer, noted, “Most importantly, you need to work hard. It’s very similar to sports in that you have to practice and get in the reps. The other key skill is learning to work with others. My peers at Simpson Thacher are the most valuable resources that I have and learning to ask others for help, and in turn being available when they ask you questions, helps everyone.”
