Weil Launches Leaders Podcast Series Led by Barry Wolf

In September 2025, Weil launched a new video podcast series – Leaders – in which Executive Partner Barry Wolf has a conversation with one of our Weil leaders about their journey as a lawyer, time at Weil and experience in Firm leadership and management.

Among a range of topics, Stephanie shares insights about how our U.S. Summer Associate Program sparked her interest in corporate work, trends she’s identified in the secondaries space, her formal and informal leadership roles at Weil and a Leader outside of the legal industry she admires.
