Training Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to help you master the skills needed to become an effective advocate and trusted adviser to our clients and remain in that role for years to come.

Start with the basic building block of all narrative.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.

<p>Our curriculum is designed to help you master the skills needed to become an effective advocate and trusted adviser to our clients and remain in that role for years to come.</p>

We focus on five core areas of competency: practice-specific capabilities, professional skills, firm culture, client development and firm operations and business dynamics. Your work in developing these core competencies throughout your career will progress as you build experience, initially as a junior associate (first to third year) and later as a midlevel associate (fourth to sixth year) and a senior associate (seventh year and beyond). At each of these stages, you will attend academies we have designed to further your development as an attorney and your advancement in the firm.

Benchmarking Core Competencies

We provide benchmarks that align with your practice area – litigation, business, intellectual property, labor and employment, tax and digital assets and data management – and each stage of your career (junior, midlevel, senior associate and beyond) so you know what will be expected as you move from one level to the next.

Mentors are assigned to junior associates for individualized guidance. Many associates choose to continue in the program, and for those who remain, the final years are particularly robust. With help from their mentors, fifth-year associates learn how to build productive client relationships. The firm offers Accelerators mentoring circles with coaches for senior associates to support their career development and build peer-to-peer relationships.
