Power at the Table is a guide for lawyers who want to take ownership of their practice, their income, and their influence. Originally written to empower women attorneys in private practice, it has now been revised to speak to all lawyers-across practice areas, backgrounds, and stages of career-who want more than just a seat in the room. They want power at the table.
