As the practice of law continues to evolve, finding the right mentor can be critical for a new attorney’s long-term success as an attorney and businessperson. Knowing the law does not necessarily guarantee success, as lawyers must also learn the business of practicing law.

Boston partner Susan W. Davis will join a panel to discuss how to develop mentoring relationships for the purposes of business development and career advancement. Panelists at the Boston Bar Association event will offer their insight on how their mentors helped them get to where they are today, as well as on how they have mentored others.

Davis practices commercial real estate law and represents owners and investors in complex real estate transactions involving all types of commercial real estate properties. She has been recognized by Commercial Real Estate Women’s Network as one of the leading women commercial real estate attorneys within the Greater Boston region. She is a founder of the Suburban Professional Women’s Network.
