Looking ahead, Nolan aims to use her leadership role to create sustainable paths for women in business. "I want to support mentorship, thoughtful workloads, and a firm culture where professional success and family life can thrive together," she said.
Nolan has been recognized as a Best Lawyers "One to Watch" in four practice areas and named a Connecticut Super Lawyers Rising Star for Business Litigation. She previously served as a judicial law clerk at the Connecticut Appellate Court.
