Our MPF Featured Article is “Young Lawyers Need to Embrace an Ownership Mentality” written by MPF faculty member Dr. Sharon Abrahams for National Law Journal. Here are a few highlights of Sharon’s article:
- Expose young lawyers to the business side of law early in their careers.
- Be transparent. Share as much information as possible with young lawyers. Knowledge is power and creates engagement.
- Involve associates directly in client relationships early on to encourage a sense of ownership.
- Encourage personal business plans for young lawyers, especially income partners and senior associates.
In the article, Sharon includes insights from numerous firm leaders who regularly participate in MPF programs. As always, Sharon writes great advice and her guidance is spot on!
