5 - Milestones and Mental Health with Anna Berces of Hippo

Anna Berces, Assistant General Counsel of home insurtech Hippo, joins the show to discuss milestones and mental health in the progression of a legal career in Biglaw and tech. Anna discusses her time on Latham & Watkins' Associates Committee, where she saw the inner-workings of the firm's People Management first hand.  She takes us through big feather-in-her-cap moments like going to trial, going through an acquisition, and taking a company public through a SPAC, and broadening her legal skills with new roles. She discusses how those moments impacted her mental state, her health, and her self-reflection on what she wants out of a legal career.  Lastly, we talk about how Hippo uses technology and aligned incentives to save itself and its clients money.  Find Anna on LinkedIn, check out Hippo.com for your home insurance needs, and head to lw.com if you'd like some very talented, very expensive attorneys.
