Legal Influencer Series: A Conversation with Brittany Leonard

In the second installment of Latitude’s Legal Influencers series, Candice Reed speaks with Brittany Leonard, general counsel at Civix, a multinational technology company that provides services and software solutions to over 100 airports, 90 percent of U.S. nuclear power plants, and nearly half of the country’s secretaries of state.

Candice and Brittany discuss Brittany’s inspiration for her creative, authentic, no-holds-barred posts providing strategic business leadership and pragmatic career advice to her online community of thousands of attorneys and legal operations professionals. They discuss:

• Brittany’s unique path from contemplating leaving the practice of law to becoming General Counsel;
• Hot topics among the legal industry, including the impact of AI, the growth and significance of legal operations, and the pursuit of healthier work environments;
• Conquering self-censorship and fear that may hinder active participation in these conversations on social media and elsewhere, empowering attorneys to engage in meaningful dialogue;
• Tackling imposter syndrome by reflecting upon past accomplishments; and
• Brittany’s advice for not performing within other people’s framework and showing up as your authentic self in the practice of law.
