In this episode of The Newfangled Lawyer, host Patrick Patino and guest Heather Cantua of Scale LLP explore the intersection of high-tech legal practice and nature-aligned living. Heather shares her journey from a fast-paced career in San Francisco to finding balance and a new perspective on professional practice in the temperate rainforests of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Together, they discuss the "juxtaposition" of maintaining a modern, distributed legal practice while deeply valuing analog traditions, such as salmon habitat restoration and manual labor. Challenging the traditional, aggressive legal archetype, they advocate for a human-centric approach defined by curiosity, trust, and adaptability, redefining what it means to be a truly "newfangled" lawyer.
About Heather
I'm a first generation college student who stumbled into law school and feel like I've been creating my own path since. I started at a big law firm in San Francisco, went in-house to a large publicly traded company, then a small one, and now practice at a fully remote law firm. During the pandemic I moved to the rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state.
