Michele L. Connell
Squire Patton Boggs
Education: J.D., Case Western Reserve University; bachelor’s degree, Georgetown University
What Motivates Me: I am privileged to serve in leadership at our global firm and to work with colleagues and clients around the globe. This role allows me to have direct and meaningful impact on our Squire team and to collaborate with them to achieve excellent results for our clients.
Most Important Leadership Quality: I have had the opportunity to work with so many tremendous leaders in Cleveland, and I admire that most are extremely adept communicators.
My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: Working as a waitress gave clear meaning to “hard work” and to the direct correlation between good customer service and earning potential.
Hobby/Passion: When I am in town, I love to spend time outside and with friends, so you will find me enjoying the beautiful Cleveland summers in my backyard and hiking. I also love to travel internationally — including to our 45 offices around the world — to experience new places, cultures and people.
