Reed Smith believes that developmental relationships are critically important for the training of good lawyers. To help our junior associates grow and develop into successful lawyers, we have created a Mentoring Program for summer and junior associates that fosters and encourages these relationships. Through this program, our summer and junior associates will:
- Receive guidance on setting and achieving career-development goals, balancing workload demands and dealing with competing priorities
- Become acquainted with the firm’s regional/national/international legal services market more quickly
- Accelerate integration into firm culture
- Maximize professional development opportunities
- Increase job satisfaction
- Create opportunities for meaningful personal and professional relationships
The mentoring you receive as a junior associate is only the beginning of what is offered at Reed Smith. The Firm has a strong commitment to our Mentoring Program for all levels of associates.
