In the latest “Meet our Member” profile we meet Mickee Hennessy, Partner at U.S. member firm Westerman Ball Ederer Miller Zucker & Sharfstein, LLP who talks us through how she is involved with Interact Law, what she hopes to gain through membership to the network over the coming years, and how she views success.

How are you involved in Interact Law?  

Our firm has been active with Interact Law for a number of years. Various partners have attended and participated in conferences all over the globe, including more recently, Portugal, Munich and New York City.

The ability to meet and confer with experienced attorneys from around the world has been wonderful — we seem to face many similar challenges as working professionals for our respective clients.

I have also had the personal benefit of participating in one of Interact Law’s offerings for members, the “Back to Business” Workshop, which I found very useful and informative.

How has the network benefited your practice so far? 

Our firm’s participation with Interact Law has enabled our firm to assist our Interact Law colleagues and their clients headquartered overseas with United States Federal and State Law issues.

Similarly, Interact Law has introduced us to capable attorneys around the world that can help us to assist our U.S. based clients. The camaraderie of the members and the workshops on issues common among us as practitioners has certainly added to our law practice generally and, to my personal practice in the Bankruptcy, Workout and Restructuring field.

What do you hope to gain through your membership in Interact Law in coming years?

Personally, I hope to continue to develop good relationships with the wonderful professionals I have met and continue to meet through this organization, along with a sense of the perspectives of legal issues in other countries, for the benefit of our clients and their interests, both here and abroad.

I also welcome the opportunity to assist my Interact Law colleagues in navigating our country’s legal system as needed.

What does success mean to you?

To me, success in my field is primarily problem-solving. It is very rewarding to assist clients in achieving their goals and helping to assist them in solving whatever business/legal problems they may have.

I enjoy having the opportunity to learn more and to glean new perspectives on how to address and solve problems, which is something special that is to be gained by networking with practitioners from all around the world.
