Peter Michaud spoke to The American Lawyer about his career path to Firm Chair. In the conversation, he touched on leadership traits that have served him well, where he sees the legal industry headed, and how Ballard Spahr goes beyond on behalf of its clients. “There is no process or practice so good it can’t be improved upon. One of the hallmarks of my tenure will be positive change in all quarters of the firm—an elevation beyond ‘excellent’ to ‘we hadn’t known this was possible,’ he said. “Every one of us, no matter what stage of our career we’re in, has room to learn and space to grow. It’s when we stop being open to new ideas or different approaches that we stop being the best professionals we can be.” Read more of what Peter had to say: https://bit.ly/4bNAGFt #BallardFirm #LawFirm #Leadership
