Episode 101-Career Wisdom from a Former Federal Prosecutor

Counsel to Counsel - Career Advice for Lawyers

When I work with lawyers who are doing career exploration, I always encourage them to have informational interviews with attorneys who can give them some perspective. The lawyers who have the best career perspective are attorneys who have varied work experience. My guest, Linda Ricci, is an attorney who has A LOT of that perspective.

Linda Ricci is a partner with the law firm Greenberg Traurig which she joined in the Spring of 2021. Prior to that, she spent 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney in Boston.

Linda began her legal career with two federal court clerkships, worked for two other major law firms, and spent two years as in-house counsel prior to joining the US Attorney’s office.

Today, she focuses her practice on white collar criminal defense, including matters related to corporate compliance, internal investigations, and government investigations.

I invited Linda to talk about the career lessons she has learned working in several public sector jobs, three different law firms, and a stint in-house.
