INTEGRATION OF NEW ASSOCIATES
Welcoming new associates
Conscious of the importance of a good welcome, we take particular care to integrate new associates rapidly into the heart of the firm.

As soon as he or she arrives, each new associate or intern is oriented by one of the members of the Commission of Lawyers and Jurists and introduced to the other associates at the firm. New hires participate in several training meetings to allow them to familiarize themselves with the tools and the functioning of the firm.

The arrival of new associates is also announced by an immediate communication to each of our four offices presenting the associates’ portraits and their professional experience.
Progress

  • General competency and specialization

During the first two years, young associates are generally not assigned to a particular department. Our objective is to allow them to participate in different fields of law before determining the department of their choice. Their specialization begins in the third year.


  • Continuing education

Throughout the career of our associates, we ensure the development of their capabilities by placing a high value on continuing education and organizing training sessions, both internally and through specialized agencies, most notably for foreign languages.


  • Team synergy and mobility

Specialization does not mean becoming cloistered in a particular area of law. That’s why we vigorously encourage the creation of multidisciplinary teams, be they created specially in order to respond to the needs of a client within the framework of a complex operation, or permanently created for a need within a particular field. We also seek to encourage the dispatch of our French associates from our four offices and abroad, via the international Meritas network to which we belong.


  • Follow-up on objectives

Once a year, each associate meets with one or several partners in order to discuss the work he or she has accomplished, as well as his or her efforts and perspectives on development.
