Listen to Women in Law on Apple Podcasts

Today on Women In Law, I’m sharing Part I of my 100th Episode! It’s been over six years in the making but we are finally here. For this special episode, I wanted to check back in with a few women I’ve met over the years to see where they are now. In Part I, I’m talking with Amy Tu who I first featured on the podcast in January 2021. Since then, Amy has become the Chief Legal Officer of Target, which is a dream job for her. We chat about what excited her most about the opportunity and how she has enjoyed the culture at Target so far.

After Amy, you’ll hear me speak with Samantha Monk, Owner of Play Street Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She and I first spoke on the podcast very early on - at a time when she was an M&A associate at Vinson & Elkins in Dallas, Texas and had just had her first son. Since then, she took an in-house role with Greystar Management and in her latest move she decided to start a Play Street Museum, which is an interactive children’s museum & indoor play area designed to fuel imaginations. Sam is one of my dearest friends and I am so proud of her for taking on this new adventure. It’s right up her alley - using her business savvy to provide a fun, family friendly venue to her community. In fact, while I visited, I had the opportunity to take my family to Play Street and it was awesome. The kids had a blast running all over the place, making slime, pretending to serve ice cream, work at a bakery, run a pet shop, you name it.

I loved checking back in with Amy and Sam and hope you enjoy hearing the latest about their career journeys.

Today I’m talking with Leah Mayersohn, founder of Mayersohn Law Group in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Leah has been practicing for almost 30 years and focuses her practice primarily on criminal law, corporate criminal investigations, and family law. Leah grew up in southern California where she attended UCLA for undergrad. She then moved to Florida to attend the University of Florida for law school and has been there ever since. Upon graduation, and due to the helpful advice of a mentor, Leah’s first job post-graduation was as an Assistant State Attorney in Broward County. There, she gained tons of trial experience and was bitten by the courtroom bug. While she considered opportunities with certain firms, Leah decided to hang her own shingle. She founded her law firm nearly 25 years ago and hasn’t looked back. She has been able to grow and expand her firm over time and has exciting things on the horizon too. Please enjoy my conversation with Leah.
