Before then, she was a partner doing trusts and estates at a small firm and then also held some kind of government advisory role in the 1980s. She appears to have been a reasonably well-connected New Yorker who was also married to another lawyer.

Yeah from her Skadden “in memoriam” post, it looks like she was married to… a Skadden partner. Not taking away from her accomplishments, but I’m sure that was a big help!
