2024 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Nicholas Enriquez, Robinson & Cole LLP
Associate
Robinson & Cole LLP
“Last year was one in which Nick showed why he’s so highly valued in the Real Estate + Development Group here at Robinson+Cole.

Outside of your career, where? else do you seek continuous learning and personal growth?? I really believe that as a young professional, it’s important to try and soak up knowledge wherever you can find it. Whether it’s learning more about personal finances, different cultures, cooking, etc. I strive to learn things daily and be the most well-rounded individual I can be!
How do you balance your rising career with your personal life? During the week, I try my best to carve out an hour or two in the evenings to have dinner with my wife or watch our favorite show. I am also a huge fan of the “long weekend” and attempt to maximize them with trips to see family or friends.
Beyond your professional achievements, what are some of your passions or hobbies? Because of how demanding the job of an attorney can be, most of my hobbies are centered around relaxation. I love going to the gym. I also enjoy all things culinary. Becoming a sommelier is on my bucket list!
Who are the key people in your life that have contributed to your success? While it takes a village, I should specifically call out my mother and my father for directly contributing to my success. My mother for inspiring me to follow in her footsteps to be an attorney and my father for the wisdom he has shared with me through the years.
