Junior Associate Skill Development Training

Overview Objectives Audience Methodology Contents Certificate FAQ's

Course Overview

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.

Learning Objectives

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

Who Should Attend?

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.

Our Approach

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.
