Megan Rodgers was featured in the DealMakers Women 2024 Issue where she discussed her Career path.

Megan explains that what drew her to a career in corporate and commercial law was the opportunity to play a key role in shaping business decisions and strategies. Corporate and commercial law often involves international transactions and cross-border issues, offering exposure to different legal systems and cultures, which was particularly appealing to her.

She adds that her strengths in abstract thinking and practical problem-solving led her to train as an upstream M&A corporate and commercial lawyer. Over the past decade, she has enjoyed a fast-paced and rewarding career in this specialised area of law.

For young women working on their first deal, Megan shares this advice: "Confidence in your abilities will help you navigate negotiations and discussions effectively. Imposter syndrome is a common experience for many people, even among high achievers, but it’s important to remember that those feelings don’t necessarily reflect reality. Learn to accept compliments and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem."
