Lunch Meetings Lead to New Job as Partner After Baby Break
Naomi Gray was an associate at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker when she took maternity leave more than a year ago. Not ready to return to the 2,000 billable-hour grind, she resigned at the end of March. Her return to work this month, to IP litigation firm Harvey Siskind as a partner, came as the result of good contacts and lucky timing. Gray says conversations with Lawrence Siskind, name partner at the six-lawyer firm, began informally over lunch at the start of the year.
