Listen here: Inside Goodwin’s Client Immersion Program for Junior Associates - with Lynda Galligan and John Klatzkin

Why did Goodwin developed a unique program for the firm’s junior associates that challenges the assumption about when client contact should begin in a BigLaw career? Because while juniors often ask for more client access, what they really need is learn is how to better understand client business needs and concerns. And that in turn positions them for better long-term relationships with clients, and gives them the skills they need to better serve those clients.

Most BigLaw training programs delay that exposure, assuming technical skills must come first and everything else will follow. But Goodwin is changing that approach, with great success for the firm, its junior associates, and its clients.
