Making Partner in a Pandemic: Sanford Heisler Sharp's Danielle Fuschetti

摘要

In our "Making Partner in a Pandemic" series, Danielle Fuschetti, of Sanford Heisler Sharp, says the firm's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic reshaped her conception of the meaning of partnership. Personal sacrifice and moral leadership are integral to partners' success, not just how well they perform as the heads of cases, she says.My elevation to partner was, I think, in part a product of the commitments that our partners exhibited this year. In a year when so many firms were laying people off, I had no expectation of being promoted. Certainly, I would have understood if the firm had wanted to act conservatively by waiting until the pandemic ended to add to the partnership. That it did not signaled the partnership's commitmentto me and the other newjunior partners.
