Synopsis

Whether you will work in a small rural community, a medium-sized firm, or a big-city/big-law firm ("BigLaw"), the principles and disciplines contained in The Early-Career Guide for Attorneys will set you on a path to success. This book helps avoid the mistakes that partners see being made by new associates in a variety of law firm environments. These mistakes are not made because of a lack of preparation or intelligence, but are often due to a lack of training by the partners and senior attorneys, who may not set forth clear objectives and rules to allow new associates to be successful.
