How I Made Partner: ‘Work With as Many People as Possible,’ Kyle Dorso Tells Law.com

Kyle Dorso, who was promoted to Brown Rudnick's partnership early this year, was featured in Law.com's "How I Made Partner" series.

The Nov. 6 profile noted that Dorso started at Brown Rudnick as a summer associate in 2014 and a full-time associate in the Litigation and Dispute Resolution group in 2015.

"One of the most attractive things about Brown Rudnick was that it staffs cases in a way that junior associates are able to get substantive experience early on in their career," he explained about the criteria in selecting the firm. "The other equally important thing I considered were the people. I really connected with not only the other members of my summer class, but many attorneys across practice groups that I met over that summer."

During his eight years before making partner, Dorso said he made it a point to work with as many different people in each of Brown Rudnick's offices as he could.

"In each of those instances, I strived to take ownership of the case and make the most of the opportunities given to me," he said. "As I progressed at the firm and my skills and confidence increased, on many of those cases I became the go-to-person who was tasked with managing the case and serving as the primary point of contact with the client and the opposing counsel. That gave the people I was working with confidence that I could take on those leadership roles as a partner."
