Who has to fit in with whom? Is it on the young associate to come to terms with the culture of the firm and try their best to assimilate? Or is the onus on law firms to modify their culture to make themselves more appealing and accommodating to young associates?

Once upon a time this question would generate diametrically opposing views depending on who you asked. The historic view of law firm leaders was that young associates are lucky to have the chance to work here, and only those who are strong enough and flexible enough to hack it will survive. In that bygone era, associates would disagree profoundly, much the same way that every young generation thinks they know better than their elders. But they’d suck it up and perpetuate the pattern when they are in leadership positions. After all, they went through it and now it’s the new associates’ turn.
