MSK Chair Gregory Hessinger was featured in The American Lawyer's "How I Made It" series in the article, "How I Made Managing Partner: 'Educate Yourself About Law Firm Economics,' Says Gregory Hessinger of Mitchell Silberberg," published on January 29, 2025.
The Q&A article discusses Gregory's role as Chair of MSK.
In response to what advice he would give to someone whose goal is to ascend to firm leadership, Gregory wrote:
"1) maintain excellence in lawyering, which garners the respect of your partners and the legal industry; 2) spend more time listening in firm meetings than speaking; 3) build meaningful relationships with partners that you can lean into when it comes time to make tough decisions—which occur almost daily in my role; and 4) educate yourself about law firm economics. In my experience, many great lawyers don’t have the time or desire to invest in the latter two items, but anyone interested in a law firm leadership position must make that investment to be successful."
