Successful Junior Lawyer
Accelerator
How to Succeed at Your Firm and Set Yourself Up for a Successful (and Sustainable) Career
Welcome!
If you’re a lawyer in private practice in the first few years (1-3) since being called to the bar, this (virtual) session is designed for you. As part of the Successful Junior Lawyer project we’ve interviewed Partners, Managing Partners, Department Heads, Associate Directors, Chief Talent/People Officers, etc., all with an eye to trying to figure out why some juniors succeed at their firms whereas others fizzle or flame out.
You see, the typical advice (say yes to everything, do it all perfectly, and keep it up as long as it takes), doesn’t seem to work so well. Sometimes the perfect opportunities don’t just land on your lap, sometimes we make mistakes, and sometimes keeping it up only works until it doesn’t.
Success should be sustainable.
There is sometimes a tension between success and sustainability. And it’s one we all have to deal with - something I saw again and again as I interviewed 100+ lawyers as part of The Happy Lawyer.
This Accelerator event will share with you the key lessons and insights gathered so far.
It’s free and it’s live. There will be no replays.
However, before you commit, please know that there are a few rules:
The event is being offered twice. You must be able to attend the entirety of the evening you pick with your camera on during the entire event:
Monday February 10th, 7pm to 9pm EST, or
Tuesday February 18th, 7pm to 9pm EST.
There is a short intake form to fill out below. This is to ensure that the event is tailored to you where possible.
The Successful Junior Lawyer Project is ongoing, and much of our input has come from senior lawyers. For this project to truly achieve its potential, it needs to incorporate the views and realities of junior lawyers. We ask that you schedule a feedback call (link below), where you can provide feedback on the material. If you sign up for the session but don’t schedule a feedback call, we will cancel your sign-up.
The feedback call is also meant to be valuable for you. If you have any further questions on the material, the feedback call will be a forum where they can get answered.
We are in the process of developing a group to provide support and ensure success, and we’ll briefly take a few minutes to describe the group, but there will be no selling during the event. The whole purpose of this Accelerator is for it to be as valuable as possible for you and to give you the roadmap for you to follow without ever needing to engage us again.
Your career is an important part of your life. Come and ensure you start it off right.
