Interview with Mihaela Lepadatu – “The Only Lost Battle is the One Not Fought”

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE ROBE?
IF YOU HAD TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A LAWYER IN ONE SENTENCE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST PROFESSIONAL CHALLENGE SO FAR?
IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROFESSION, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO PRACTICE IN A FIRM WITH OVER 40 LAWYERS?
I believe that a lawyer in this field must be human. They need to empathize with the victims, understand their pain. However, no matter how emotional the cases are, they must also have a more detached attitude so that they are not easily affected by the cases they receive.
LAW IS A LIBERAL PROFESSION. YOU WAKE UP WHEN YOU WANT, WORK WHEN YOU WANT, TAKE VACATION WHEN YOU WANT... OR HOW IS IT EXACTLY?
HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR LIMITED FREE TIME?
IF IT WEREN'T FOR LAW, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN…
WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU HAVE RECEIVED SO FAR IN LIFE AND FROM WHOM?
