What advice would you give to associates who wants to make partner now in this COVID-19 era? Now that we are beginning to return to the office, it’s important to make sure you are still doing the marketing activities you were before—panels, writing, networking—to keep that momentum and mindset going for business generation. Most notably, I hope associates can take some encouragement in that everyone’s path looks different and that the path to making partner is always unique no matter your circumstances.
What’s the best piece of advice you could give an associate who wants to make partner? Stay on top of industry news and make yourself a go-to person at the firm. Find your niche or something unique about your background—like I did with American Indian law—that can help set you apart within your firm.
