Have you ever felt you had to become someone else to fit in as a lawyer?
In this selected replay from an earlier episode of That One Lawyer Podcast, Neal Goldstein revisits his conversation with corporate lawyer Lani Medina about the pressure to fit a professional mold and the strengths that pressure can cause you to overlook.
Lani, a Puerto Rican attorney raised in the Bronx and the first lawyer in her family, recalls feeling out of place at Columbia. She talks about being an introvert in an extroverted world, learning to value her ability to listen, and making herself visible so younger lawyers can see another version of what a corporate attorney can look like.
Their conversation explores client trust, bringing a human touch to corporate law, and handling difficult people with kindness and professionalism. Lani also shares why she speaks openly about OCD and anxiety, despite uncertainty about how those disclosures will be received.
They close by discussing whether lawyers can embrace artificial intelligence while preserving their authenticity, judgment, and responsibility to clients.
