About Barbara Otoole
I am a strategic and legal professional with expertise in employment and commercial litigation. I have advised and represented clients from various industries in complex and high-stakes matters, as well as supported the growth and development of legal teams and organizations. I am passionate about delivering excellent service, fostering collaboration, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a Practice Manager at Goodwin, I advised the Private Equity leadership across strategic initiatives, including training, professional and client development, attorney recruiting, retention, evaluation, and advancement, and DE & I. I leveraged my litigation, legal writing, and legal research skills to provide guidance and support to the practice group and the firm. I also collaborated with other practice managers, business development professionals, and administrative staff to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the firm.
