Big Law Attorneys Share Why Mentoring Matters
“Starting as a new associate at a law firm marks the exciting beginning of a dreamed-for legal career. But for many—especially women, minorities, or first-generation attorneys walking through the door doesn’t mean you know what to do, how to do it, or whom to ask for help. Mentorships can play a pivotal,” reports MP McQueen in Bloomberg Law.
“Finding a mentor who can offer ongoing guidance and support is key. We asked partners who were once mentored themselves to share how the experience affected their careers. They said professional guidance from a more experienced attorney a senior associate or partner who worked in their same practice area, or who shared similar.”
