Partner Prerna Soni recently spoke with Law.com [PDF] about her path to partnership, the importance of staying authentic, and how embracing individuality can be a source of strength and value.
Reflecting on what she thinks made her a strong candidate for partnership, Prerna emphasized the combination of consistently delivering high-quality work and being appreciated by the firm for her authenticity. “I bring an energy and perspective that’s different from a lot of law firm partners. And instead of being told to tone it down, I felt like that difference was seen as an asset — that meant a lot to me, and was a huge reason why I thought partnership could be a good fit for me.”
When asked what advice she would give to young associates aspiring to partnership, Prerna was equally candid: “Don’t trade authenticity for acceptance. The goal isn’t just getting a seat at the table — it’s finding the right table, where you don’t have to check your personality or values at the door.”
