In 2009, Goodwin Procter partner Scott Webster received a call from the firm’s recruiting director that incoming first-year associate and former summer associate Katherine Liggio would now be known as Blake Liggio.
A week later, Webster met Liggio at a Cosi near the firm’s Boston headquarters. Over a cookie and some coffee, they discussed what this now meant for Liggio and Goodwin Procter.
