In Her Own Words: Courtney Mayster Defies the Stereotype of Law Firm Leader

Managing Partner Courtney Mayster wrote an article for the Bizwomen section of The Business Journals on breaking traditional molds of law firm leadership and investing equally in your business and your people.

Two years into her role as Much’s Managing Partner, Mayster reflects on the ways her colleagues have advocated for her and helped her achieve goals she didn’t think possible. As she leads the firm, she remains committed to doing the same for others.

Mayster emphasizes that growing the firm’s business and caring for its people are inextricably tied. For clients, she explains that we prioritize closing deals and winning cases as well as making sure clients feel good about their experience working with Much. For employees, she finds that opening the door for future leaders requires focus on both professional development and personal growth and wellbeing.
