How I Made Partner: ‘I Used My Unique Strengths and Skills to My Advantage,’ Says Shari Dwoskin of Brown Rudnick

Shari Dwoskin, who was recently elevated to Brown Rudnick’s partnership, was featured in Law.com’s “How I Made Partner” series.

In the March 24 profile, Dwoskin, who has practiced bankruptcy law at Brown Rudnick since she graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 2014, said she has seen herself as a real member of the Firm since she was a junior associate, and she’s always been invested in making the Firm as great as it can be.
