1. Establish Yourself as a Flexible and Trusted Advisor
The past three years have been far from predictable. You want to solidify yourself as the attorney who can handle anything, who pivots quickly, and who clients can trust. Ask your clients for feedback and how you can cater to their priorities.
2. Take Mentorship Seriously
Both young and established lawyers alike can benefit from a legal mentor. There’s always more to learn and different perspectives to hear!
3. Attend Events and Conferences
The industry is always changing and it’s important to keep up with the latest trends and developments. Conferences allow you to reimmerse yourself in legal education and upgrade your skills.
4. Figure Out How You Add Value to Your Clients
More than ever in the past year, clients asked law firms to explain how they add value outside of traditional legal services. Clients will continue to look past the traditional definition of value and analyze how firms stack up against each other. Be proactive and give your clients meaningful updates on how you’re adding value.
