A conversation between the friends about what has afforded them staying power inspired a traveling CLE-certified chat-fest tailored toward women and the law. “Candid Talk Women” has presented across the country, and Catalana and Odorisi have a book in the works, too.

Their story was also featured in the 2018 issue of Upstate New York Super Lawyers.
