    The legal economy is growing and law firms are again focusing on training and retaining their associates. Progressive law firms want to help their associates become next-generation rainmakers, and find that associates stay longer at firms that provide professional skills training.

    The legal economy is growing and law firms are again focusing on training and retaining their associates. Progressive law firms want to help their associates become next-generation rainmakers, and find that associates stay longer at firms that provide professional skills training. Of course, first-year lawyers should undertake different activities than seventh-years, which makes it difficult to provide a customized education. In this presentation, we'll lay out a step-by-step, year-by-year program for how firms can turn their associates into rainmakers and give a detailed plan for the specific marketing activities associates should undertake at each stage of their career. Additionally, we'll cover how to create your own effective internal educational program. Each attendee will receive a free copy of the presenter's book, The Ultimate Law Firm Associate's Marketing Checklist. 

    Objectives: 

    • Examine the decade-long arc of associate-marketing development. 
    • Identify what marketing activities associates should undertake at each stage of their career. 
    • Discover the single activity that is the greatest predictor of rainmaking success. 
    • Show how to develop your own internal training program.

    As legal professionals, most of us have explored the concept of diversity and have begun to create inclusion in our organizations. A new trend will be taking diversity and inclusion to another realm and discussing cultural competence — an awareness of the cultural differences that makes each person unique.

    As legal professionals, most of us have explored the concept of diversity and have begun to create inclusion in our organizations. A new trend will be taking diversity and inclusion to another realm and discussing cultural competence — an awareness of the cultural differences that makes each person unique. Cultural Competence is also the ability to interact with and appreciate belief systems that differ from your own, thereby creating a way for everyone to work cross-culturally. The goal of this presentation is to enhance the knowledge and skills of legal management professionals on how to build and maintain a multicultural law firm and become positive change agents for their workplace. This program asks you to understand and reflect on your role in promoting inclusion and building successful and effective working relationships within your organization. 

    Objectives: 

    • Define diversity and culture and its impact on relationships within law firms. 
    • Recognize our unconscious biases and how they impact our culture and hiring decisions.

    • Recognize the importance of infusing diversity into your law firms to achieve a more productive, respectful and cooperative work environment.

    Effectively managing, evaluating and rewarding employee performance is the cornerstone of everything that executives and managers are expected to accomplish.
