What I like: Her strident brand of feminism makes clear she's not a shrinking violet, but a stinking violet. Though she's unlikely to encounter such a situation at her female-led firm, she wouldn't hesitate to fend off a sleazy partner's grab-ass with a kale gas blast. If you're foolish enough to joke about how "girls don't fart," this Nasty Woman will prove you wrong in short order. You smell that? Yeah, #MeToo.

What I don't: Her relatively thin arms suggest she may be a bit too disciplined with her diet to fulfill her true potential. I'd love to see her with another 15-20 pounds of pure adipose fat evidencing late-night ice cream binges and Sunday brunch bonanzas. But she's just beginning her legal career, so I'm sure that will all come in due course.

We will have a major public interest and pro bono component. Our goal, as stated on our site, is “to fuse together a private commercial practice with a public interest practice for the mutual benefit of both.” I have always treated pro bono clients just like all my other clients, and that will continue. Pro bono work makes you better as both a lawyer and a person.

We expect people to work hard — but on the other hand, one thing that has been lost somewhat in firms is quality of life. I want our lawyers to be able to balance their firm work with personal life and family life, as well as with professional life outside the firm, such as bar association and pro bono work.

Finally, I can’t change the fact that I am a woman with many great women as colleagues. We will be, aside from a few prominent exceptions — such as Beth and Alex’s shop [Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz, the elite boutique launched by Beth Wilkinson and Alexandra Walsh, two other star women litigators from Paul, Weiss] — one of a small number of women-run top law firms.

[Ed. note: Like good colleagues keeping a senior colleague on her toes, John Quinn and Rachel Tuchman reminded Kaplan that, well, she could change the fact that she’s a woman — which of course she realizes, as a crusader for transgender as well as gay and lesbian rights. But as a cisgender woman, Kaplan is not inclined to change the fact that she’s a woman.]
