Steven J. Reisman Shares How He Became 'Life of the Party' With Law360

Insolvency and Restructuring co-chair Steven J. Reisman, profiled in Law360 Pulse, shares stories about his approach to life and how it lead to being a 2022 Pollstar Awards "Life of the Party" nominee. Steven noted that he "cracked the code" to meeting musicians through his trademark gesture of goodwill — handing out $2 bills. "I give them out for one reason: just to make the world a better place. If someone has a better day, they'll be nice. They'll be kind; they'll pay it forward."

For him, music and his legal career are intertwined, whether it is sharing music with his clients and colleagues or using lyrics to explain legal concepts. "The same passion that I have for music, I have for law." ("The BigLaw Partner Who's Backstage With Jay-Z," December 9, 2021)
