Katie Weber recently served as a panelist for the Legal Netlink Alliance’s Path to Partnership webinar, where accomplished attorneys shared their personal journeys to partnership, membership, and shareholder roles within their firms. The panel offered candid insights into the challenges and milestones along the way, along with strategic career planning tips for early-career associates and practical advice on navigating firm culture, building a book of business, and positioning for advancement.
Katie’s practice spans real estate and land use law, including leasing, acquisitions, sales, development projects, eminent domain litigation, and advising municipalities. With experience on both sides of complex projects, she brings a unique perspective and practical insights into building a legal career while navigating challenges head-on.
