Associate Retention through Professional Development

In an article earlier this year, Big Firm Associates: Why They Go and How to Keep Them, I found a very interesting quote: “…most importantly, firms could spend as much time on professional development as on marketing.” I don’t know if firms are using this type of benchmark to measure the amount of resources committed to professional development, but it is an interesting idea.

The link between retention and professional development is one that makes sense, and inspired us to develop a workshop series to help firms. Visit our site to learn more (prepare2practice).

Prepare2Practice Workshop

Legal research, legal writing and business development are some of the most important skills that a new lawyer can have, especially in this economy. However, these skills are often neglected in law school (by both the students and the schools) or not taught at all. With that in mind…Cable&Clark is proud to launch a new workshop series called Prepare2Practice. There are current two California sessions scheduled for December, with more to come in 2009.
