Does the firm offer continuing professional development to its associates?
Absolutely. The firm is vested in the success of our lawyers and has committed significant resources to providing programs and opportunities to enhance lawyer professional development. In addition to opportunities provided by the firm’s full-time Business Development and Marketing staff, the firm has a department, the Office of Lawyer Recruiting and Development (“OLRD”), headed by a firm partner and dedicated to attorney professional development. OLRD oversees and coordinates our firmwide lawyer policy and program initiatives and works closely with the firm’s Associates Committee, Recruiting Committee and Diversity Committee. As part of the firm’s continuing professional development program, we offer in-house training seminars, the opportunity to attend relevant external training, formal and informal coaching and mentoring. All this is in addition to the in-depth on-the-job training each associate receives.
