Partner Gloria Park recently joined Kathryn Rubino on The Jabot, the podcast from Above the Law, for a conversation about her path to partnership, the art of trial advocacy, and building a successful career in high-stakes litigation.
In the episode, titled “Biglaw Partner Dishes on Her Unique Path to Partnership,” Gloria reflects on growing up as a first-generation immigrant, why she chose a career in law (because it allowed her to “tell stories for a living”), and the mindset that helped guide her from associate to partner. She also discusses what distinguishes great litigators, the value of mentorship, and balancing a demanding trial practice with life outside the office.
Gloria also shares one of her earliest litigation experiences—taking her first deposition just weeks into practice—and explains how those opportunities shaped her development as a trial lawyer. Throughout the discussion, she offers candid advice for young attorneys navigating the path to partnership while emphasizing the importance of preparation, curiosity, and embracing new challenges.
