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.

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.
