    Katten's Sue Light on Close to 30 Years of Mentoring Attorneys

    Mentoring. On a macro level, mentorship should be helpful in any profession, but when it comes to the legal arena, it is more critical than most. Attorneys stress being able to learn from those who came before, helping younger attorneys shape their lives and careers in a demanding environment. Sue Light is a partner and co-head of the broker/dealer regulatory practice at Katten. An attorney with more than three decades of legal acumen, Light joined Katten five years ago after close to 30 years at the New York Stock Exchange Group, where she was held several senior leadership roles. It is also where she started mentoring younger attorneys decades ago. Light has continued those mentorship efforts at Katten, where she recently won the firm’s 2024 John P. Sieger Excellence in Mentoring Award, which is given annually by the firm to one attorney and one business professional.  In an interview with Legal Speak's Patrick Smith, Light discusses the award itself, the motivations she has for spending her time and resources assisting others and why she feels mentorship is important.
