On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Caroll & O’Dea Lawyers special counsel Hayley Aldrich and Harmers Workplace Lawyers executive counsel and team leader Amy Zhang – both of whom have won multiple categories at Lawyers Weekly award programs – to discuss their respective journeys to the position of special counsel and what this professional does on a daily basis.

The two award-winning lawyers also explain how the role of special counsel has evolved in the age of coronavirus, if at all, lessons learned for such practitioners in the last two years, why this particular vocational pathway is attractive separate from the partnership, what challenges are emerging for special counsel, and how best emerging leaders in law can attain this role.
