PLI Press recently published Stepping It Up: A Guide for Mid-Level Law Firm Associates, the latest title in the career development series.
Aimed at associates in their third to sixth years of practice, this book provides guidance on how people in large firms can successfully make the transition from junior associate—by “stepping up” their performance to meet the increasing expectations that partners have of associates with several years of experience. Chapters are written by various legal professionals, including law firm chiefs, in-house counsel and senior associates, who share their experiences and perspectives, along with clear examples, of what is expected of mid-level associates.
This book addresses a broad-range of skill development, including:
- Communicating confidently
- Avoiding the pitfalls of email and maximizing its benefits for business communication
- Standing out as a current and future leader
- Learning to delegate
