Interview with Ely Kronenberg

• What is the most challenging aspect of your job?

It is challenging being available to clients around the clock.  We work Israel business hours but are also available to clients during US business hours and beyond.

• What did you not know about being a lawyer until you became one?

I did not know how much law school does not prepare you for being a lawyer.

• What was the best piece of advice you got from a mentor?

The best advice I received was to never leave a stone unturned.  Be thorough and never assume the obvious solution to a problem is necessarily the right solution.
