Junior Associate Development Program

This program is designed to help Junior Associates to review and develop their skills, awareness and all-round capability to consciously expand your personal influence. Lawyer’s career success (and enjoyment) is increasingly dependent upon managing oneself and one’s seniors, juniors, clients and peers, and not technical skill alone. In the business of work, there is a tendency to be relatively passive in respect of these relationships.

Designed by lawyers for law firms and in-house legal departments, this is an interactive online group course of five sessions of up to 1.75 hours each week and one optional 1:1 60-minute coaching session within one month after session 5.

The program has been designed to enable Junior Associates to make lasting improvements based on an exploration of:

• Behavior at work: maximising the positives, avoiding the pitfalls
• Creating a positive impression and building their personal reputation
• Communicating effectively with clients and colleagues
• Managing their time and workload effectively

This course is tailor made for junior associates, a 1-year post qualified experience, who wishes to work together to share experiences and develop personal organization and communication skills. The content is designed to avoid any need to disclose confidential information.

This online program is highly flexible and will be created to match your own pace and working style. This course allows you to participate without the need for travel. It uses the latest online technology. Full instructions will be given to facilitate easy access. You will receive PowerPoint slides and a recording of each session. Each session is available to download for one month after the original session. Once downloaded, however, you can keep and review the content, at your leisure, as often as you like.
