In this episode, we sit down with Andrea D’Ambra, Partner and Global Executive Committee Member at Norton Rose Fulbright. Andrea shares her remarkable journey from leaving a major firm to pursue a true partnership track, to navigating Big Law while raising five kids and ultimately rising to leadership at one of the world’s largest law firms.
We talk about her role co-chairing the firm’s Women’s Initiative (WiN), her influential work with The Sedona Conference, where she helps shape best practices for the responsible use of AI in legal settings, and how she balances the intensity of law firm leadership with personal time ( including video games to decompress).
This conversation is honest, inspiring, and packed with insights for attorneys navigating their own careers and values.
