Description
Associates want more from the law firms they work for. It is not just about giving them a job and paying them high salaries, it is also about giving them purpose and making them feel they are working for a modern, forward-thinking institution that cares. What is the deal between associates and law firms? What can law firms reasonably expect from associates? And what can associates reasonably expect from law firms?
