ASSOCIATE TRAINING AND MENTORING

We place a premium on investing time in the development of our associates' legal and professional skills, as they are our firm's future. We assign each new attorney to a partner who provides mentoring and guidance. Associates also have the opportunity to work closely with a number of partners within their practice group and the firm, and receive direct feedback and supervision. Scheduled evaluations, including self-evaluations, are conducted periodically.

The practice groups hold regular group meetings to discuss cases and latest developments in the field. To promote communication among the practice groups, all attorneys attend a monthly breakfast meeting where information and ideas are shared.

We support our associates’ professional development by providing attendance at continuing legal education programs and in-house seminars.
