Mentoring Program

To assist in their professional training and development, first-year associates are matched with mentors who offer routine guidance and support. The program includes direct work with clients, an integral component of the program that provides associates hands-on, practical experience. Regular feedback, evaluations and face-to-face discussions are used to advise associates on their progress. (For new associates, reviews are ongoing, with semiannual written evaluations.)
