Musicians as Lawyers - “Practice Makes Perfect (Pitch)” | Special Holiday Episode

Like a fine musician performing a complex work before a discerning audience, practicing law at an elite level can be as much art as science. Today, we take a breather from complex business issues in this bonus episode of Law, Policy & Markets featuring Milbank Global Project, Energy & Infrastructure Finance partner Allan Marks and Litigation & Arbitration partner Alex Romain, who compare notes on how their years of classical piano training and passion for playing music inform their approaches to practicing law. They explore how coaching, creativity and collaboration translate into discipline, depth and distinction and how crafting a musical performance is similar to structuring and presenting a cogent legal argument that leads to persuasive communication, authentic personal relationships and positive action.
We hope you enjoy our final episode of the year. See you in 2021!
