Thompson Coburn partner Ruthanne Hammett was profiled in The Secured Lender’s Women in Secured Finance issue, which features leading finance lawyers worldwide who carved their paths with determination, resilience, and unwavering vision. In the profile, Ruthanne shared advice she would offer to women just starting out in the industry, the best advice she’s ever received, what she thinks work will look like in the next few years, and more.
On advice to women starting out in the industry, she said, “There’s a lot to learn, and you will learn along the way, but your career is not a classroom, it’s a laboratory. It’s important to ‘do’ – to take action. Don’t wait to know everything – you never will, and that’s okay.”
