The Legal Mentor Network

I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a networking event tailored for legal professionals hosted by The Legal Mentor Network, which was founded by Brian H. Potts. It was an inspiring and invaluable experience! 🤝 The Power of Networking: Attending events like these underscores the immense value of networking in our field. Connecting with seasoned professionals, colleagues, and law students broadens our perspectives and opens doors to countless opportunities. 💼 Learning from the Best: Engaging in insightful conversations with experienced lawyers such as Arushi Sharma Frank provided me with practical knowledge and firsthand advice. Their stories and guidance have further fueled my passion for the legal profession. 🌐 Building a Supportive Community: One of the most rewarding aspects was building relationships with like-minded individuals who share a common goal. The sense of community and support among attendees was truly motivating, reminding me of the collaborative spirit that drives our profession. Thank you to Husch Blackwell and DLA Piper for organizing such a wonderful event and everyone I had the pleasure of meeting. Lastly, as someone who recently moved to the Washington, DC area, thank you to everyone for the warm welcome to the legal community here. Let's keep the conversations going and continue to support one another on this incredible journey! #Networking #Lawyers #ProfessionalGrowth #LegalCommunity #CareerDevelopment

There’s a new Premier-level NATIONWIDE sponsor of the Legal Mentor Network! 🏅 Husch Blackwell!💥 AKA —> My amazing new law firm. 💪 If you’ve been chained to your desk for too long and haven’t heard of The Legal Mentor Network, you need to read this. ⛓️ The LMN website has a FREE online platform that links practicing lawyers with law students. 🖇️ Anyone with a law degree who wants to be a mentor or obtain mentorship (including LL.Ms!) can use it. ⚖️ To date, 2,500+ mostly diverse and/or first generation law students and new lawyers have met 600+ mentors through the network. 🤝 It’s wild how big it has become. 🤪 And it’s even crazier that it was hatched from one of my first posts on LinkedIn.🐣 The network has hosted 20+ events in over a dozen cities in the last two years alone. 🌆 I’m REALLY EXCITED about this sponsorship because there are literally tens of thousands of people out there around the world who could benefit from joining the network. 🌏 And as part of the sponsorship, Husch is going to put on events in ten cities across the country where the firm has offices.🎉 The first event will be this Wednesday on the rooftop of our DC office. ☀️ Message me if you’d like to attend. 🫔 And please thank everyone you know Husch Blackwell for supporting the network. 🙏 (Also, I have to give a HUGE shoutout to Matt Schwartz, the baseball coaching legend ⚾️, and his firm DLA Piper for believing in and backing the network since the beginning. Y’all are incredible. 🚀)

“There is a tremendous need in the legal industry for mentorship, particularly for those historically underrepresented in the community, and I’m incredibly grateful that Husch Blackwell has agreed to be part of our growing community," said Brian H. Potts, who joined Husch Blackwell earlier this year. The Legal Mentor Network was created organically through a series of LinkedIn posts made by Brian during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Now it is a formal 501(c)(3) non-profit that strives to connect legal professionals from dozens of companies and nearly every major Am Law 100 firm with mentees through one-on-one relationships, skills-building events, and more.
