Movin' on Up: How to Succeed as a Diverse Associate and Young Lawyer

Event Code: CET1MUH

Clients increasingly demand diversity within their own ranks and from their outside counsel. Diverse in-house counsel and outside attorneys, however, continue to be outnumbered by their majority counterparts. These numbers are even more pronounced in certain areas of legal practice like intellectual property, labor, tax, and real estate.

This program will provide advice on:

• how to become the “go to” lawyer;
• finding mentors in your practice areas;
• seeking out challenging assignments in these areas;
• honing your business development skills as a young diverse attorney; and
• how to seek in-house opportunities.
