Episode 35: Brian Potts, Environment & Energy Partner, Perkins Coie

Feb 2, 2023

Big law partner? Check. Entrepreneur? Check. Inventor? Check. Mentor? Check. This week, on Movers, Shakers & Rainmakers, our hosts are joined by a true mover and shaker, Perkins Coie Environment & Energy partner Brian Potts. Brian is not your typical Biglaw partner and in this episode, he discusses how rejections from every Am Law 200 firm ultimately lead to him launching The Legal Mentor Network, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting law students and recently barred attorneys with legal mentors. Join us as Brian chronicles his legal career from a small-town law school to partnership at Perkins Coie, and the many ventures along the way. For their moves of the week, Zach highlights a group pick-up by Goodwin and David discusses the merger between Atlanta-founded Smith, Gambrell & Russell, and Chicago-based Freeborn & Peters.
