Associate Professional Development Program
New Partner Development
We created our New Partner Development Program to guide our people through the transition from associate to partner. The program starts with “partnership survival skills,” and is the beginning of the ongoing support new partners receive.
All partners are assigned mentors, complete self-assessments, and participate in an ongoing training curriculum to provide the knowledge and skills critical to their success as firm leaders.
Upward Review
Associate Remote Working Program
The firm’s Remote Working Program for associates leverages firm-subsidized technology to allow eligible associates in Morgan Lewis’s US and UK offices to spend one or two days per week working remotely while continuing to provide best-in-class client service.
Associate Ramp Up Program
The firm’s Ramp Up Program supports associates who are returning from an extended leave, including but not limited to Primary Caregiver Leave.
The central element of the Program is Morgan Lewis’s Return to Work Policy, which formally reduces the hours expectations of eligible traditional track associates by 25% for the first six months upon their return to work, with no reduction in base pay or bonus eligibility. The Ramp Up Program also provides:
- Individualized counseling before, during and following return;
- Guidance on best practices for returning to work, managing assignments and partner expectations after an extended leave;
- A partner mentor, matched by the firm’s Return to Work Affinity Group, to serve as a confidential resource and assist with any client or practice group re-entry issues.
