Patrick Hagen is a Regent University School of Law graduate and works as an Associate Attorney at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough. This episode with Patrick Hagan is one that truly captures what it means to play the long game in the legal profession. Patrick takes us down his journey, from growing up with a lawyer father, to scanning documents in his dad’s office and deciding law wasn’t for him, to working at GEICO, where the spark was reignited, all the way through law school at Regent, clerkships at the state and federal level, and into private practice at Nelson Mullins.Patrick breaks down the two essential skill sets every lawyer needs: the practical lawyering skills and the people skills, and with over 41,000 followers on LinkedIn, he shares how he built an incredible platform around legal writing tips, lessons from the bench, and professional growth, further showing the power of putting yourself out there consistently.This was a fantastic conversation with a guy who truly embodies ownership, mentorship, and playing the long game.
