🎙 How I Lawyer #122: Jason Mehta & Natalie Hirt Adams

Former Prosecutors & Current Government Enforcement Defense & Investigation Lawyer

In today’s episode, I speak with Jason Mehta & Natalie Hirt Adams who are partners in Foley & Lardner LLP’s Tampa, Florida office where they defend companies and individuals facing government investigation and civil and criminal prosecution. Between the two of them, they have represented clients in healthcare, defense contracting, procurement, higher education, as well as Title IX complaints and in the financial service industries.

Both Jason & Natalie are also former Assistant United States Attorneys who received a number of accolades and awards for their work on behalf of the United States Government. They both started their legal careers as judicial law clerks and at large law firms in DC.

We discuss their path to private practice through the United States Attorney's Office, how to grow as a junior lawyer if you love what you are doing (or even if you don't), the importance of learning how to be a writer, how to work with teams to create success, and so much more.
