Latisha Thompson Featured in Law360 “In Their Words” Series

Latisha V. Thompson was featured in a Law360 article entitled “In Their Words: Top Lawyers on How to Cope with Losing,” in which four successful law firm partners share their thoughts on how they have dealt with losses. Latisha discussed how losing her first trial, a case that involved a large contract dispute between two international tire manufacturers, “would change not only how I practiced law but also how I lived my life every day in the nearly 20 years since.”

She said, “The biggest lesson was that losing is where growth often happens . . . . Through the act of reflection I identified and learned what was effective and what simply did not work. The particularly successful questioning styles and techniques were incorporated into my toolbox to be used in the future; the less effective strategies are now part of my lockbox of ‘what not to do.’ While winning feels amazing, there will always be losses. It is up to us how we view those losses. I chose to see them as priceless gifts for learning and growth.”
