Litigation & enforcement partner and former federal prosecutor Sarah Coyne was a guest on the Sidebar Advisors podcast, hosted by Niraj Chhabra, to discuss how she approaches decision-making in high-stakes legal matters, the judgment she has built across her career, and her evolving perspective on what it means to have a successful life in the law.

Sarah discussed the judgment she developed handling complex investigations and high-profile cases – first serving as an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey and in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York – and what changed when she moved to private practice.

Beyond the professional, Sarah opens up about the personal experiences that have shaped her perspective, including motherhood, financial security, and her breast cancer journey, and how those moments shifted her view of success from chasing the next milestone to making space for what matters most outside of work.
