In this episode of the Beyond Page One podcast, host Mickey sits down with Aaron Savage, a partner at Cox & Palmer with over 22 years of experience in corporate and commercial law. Aaron shares his journey into law, starting from being told he’d “make a good lawyer” as a kid to overcoming early-career challenges like fear of failure and lack of money. He emphasizes the importance of having good mentors and surrounding yourself with people who believe in you.

Aaron also highlights the changing landscape of law, explaining how technology has completely transformed how lawyers work. He recalls the old days when corporate closings took place in boardrooms filled with papers—a far cry from today’s streamlined digital processes. Aaron’s advice to young lawyers is to focus on what you love and find mentors who genuinely want to see you succeed.

But it’s not just about career success. For Aaron, family comes first, and he values the time spent with them above all else. He encourages everyone to “be present” and enjoy the simple things. His ultimate takeaway: Hard work, persistence, and learning from mistakes will get you far—just don’t forget to have fun along the way!
