Silicon Valley’s Highest-Stakes Litigation: A Candid Conversation with WilmerHale Partners Sonal Mehta and Jessica Lewis on How They Got There

Join WSL for lunch and a candid conversation with two litigation partners who represent Silicon Valley’s leading companies in their most consequential disputes.

Sonal Mehta is Partner-in-Charge of WilmerHale’s Palo Alto office and Vice Chair of the firm’s Litigation/Controversy Department, and a trusted advisor and trial lawyer for many of the world’s leading technology and life sciences companies. Jessica Lewis, a first-generation college student from rural Vermont, litigates high-stakes securities and corporate governance matters for companies across the tech sector.

Sonal and Jessica will trade honest stories about their different paths, including what they didn’t know, what was hard, and how they found their own styles along the way. They’ll talk about how to find mentors and sponsors, how to create opportunities instead of waiting for them, when to make a move, and, most importantly, how to build a career you actually want to stay in. Bring your questions, especially the ones you’ve been afraid to ask. Lunch will be provided. All are welcome and invited to attend.
