Program Summary

Explore what law firm partners seek in their associates and how aspiring lawyers can distinguish themselves as partnership material. Partners often value qualities like dedication, a strong work ethic, and the ability to consistently deliver high-quality work. Associates aiming to stand out should proactively seek opportunities to build both breadth and depth in their experience, showcasing versatility while becoming experts in certain areas of law. Valuable associates strive for a balance between their knowledge and the scope of their practice. Equally important are behaviors to avoid, such as failing to meet deadlines, lacking attention to detail, or demonstrating a lack of teamwork. By adhering to these principles and focusing on developing their professional skills, associates can position themselves for future success within their law firms.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What qualities do law firm partners look for in associates
  • What can associates do to stand out as partnership material
  • Why it is valuable for associates to aim for breadth and depth in building their experience
  • What behaviors should associates avoid if they want to progress in their firms
