Partner Natalie Prager featured in Law.com’s ‘How I Made Partner’

Partner Natalie Prager was featured July 19 in Law.com’s ‘How I Made Partner.’ Natalie spoke about what drew her to BCLP, saying, “I knew I wanted to be somewhere with a national or international platform with progressive values, interesting and varied work, a supportive team and an emphasis on raising women to positions of leadership. After extensive discussions with associates and partners in the real estate group, it became clear that BCLP was the right place for me.” She gave advice to associates who are trying to make partner, saying, “If you are able to be yourself, make your goals known, and find a mentor within the firm to help guide you, it makes the whole process and career trajectory much easier. I also think it is important to put yourself out there—everyone is busy and sometimes people need a little nudge. As scary as it is to put yourself out there, I think the rewards are great.” When asked what impact she hopes to achieve, Natalie said, “Outside of my official capacity as People Partner and Sponsor, I am passionate about seeking out informal mentoring opportunities to female associates at the firm and have a specific interest in women’s professional development, particularly as it relates to female associates looking to make the transition to partner as well as navigating motherhood within a big law firm setting. I understand how important it is to use my experience and capital to champion the women around me.”
