Partner Elizabeth Brandon explains why she joined Reed Smith’s Dallas office, and what sets the firm apart from the other BigLaw firms she’s worked with. She emphasizes the uniqueness of a leadership team that is actively focused on engaging and supporting “not just diverse lawyers…but specifically, Black lawyers” and encourages attorneys to “look to the relationships” when evaluating a firm.
