Insights and laughter: Schulte alums share their stories with Schulte summers

As part of the Schulte Roth & Zabel Summer Program, the firm's summer associates were treated to a discussion and Q&A with Schulte alums Kate Sullivan, Erin Chizner, Arlene Shaw and Justin Mendelsohn. Moderated by partner and Summer Program co-chair Donna Lazarus, the alum panelists shared candid and often amusing insights and perspectives on their experiences at Schulte and beyond.  

 

Wise guidance from the panelists included: 

• “Always worth it to take an extra few minutes to review your work before sending.  Think about how you can add value.”
  -- Erin Chizner, Associate General Counsel, Taconic Capital Advisor 
• "Be kind, open, present and responsive. It will make you a better associate."
  -- Justin Mendelsohn, Head of AML and Sanction, Fidelity Digital Assets
• “Network with your classmates, colleagues and people you know. You are rising, and all ships rise together. Your personal group can also help raise your ship.” 
  -- Arlene Shaw, Managing Director, Brightwood Capital
• "Get your finances in order. Save! It will give you flexibility in life to be able to take leaps!"
  -- Kate Sullivan, Compliance Officer, Point72
