Parna Mehrbani Speaks at APA Women’s Forum

On May 16, Tonkon Torp Partner Parna Mehrbani was a panelist at a Women’s Forum hosted by the Oregon Asian Pacific American Bar Association (OAPABA) and the Oregon Filipino Lawyers Association (OFALA). The panel of APA attorneys and judges held a conversation about the challenges and strategies for APA women when it comes to negotiating for self and others. During the thoughtful conversation, Parna, Justice Lynn Nakamoto, and Judge Youlee Yim You touched on how stereotypes, cultural nuances, and different leadership styles have shaped how they have approached negotiations for themselves or others.
