Beyond Technical Ability: Developing Associates Who Stay and Succeed
Technically capable lawyers are essential to every firm. As their careers progress, however, expectations extend beyond accurate work and reliable task completion.
Description
Firms need lawyers who can assess information, explore alternatives, contribute ideas and communicate a clear recommendation. Yet the capabilities behind that contribution are not always explicitly developed, and the expectations of progression can remain unclear.
This one-hour webinar explores how firms can help lawyers develop the thinking and communication skills needed to succeed as their responsibilities grow. We will consider how clear expectations, constructive feedback and opportunities to contribute can support progression, engagement and retention.
Who should attend
Law firm leaders, partners, supervisors, HR and L&D professionals responsible for lawyer development, progression and retention.
