The View from 10 Years Out - How to Set Yourself Up for Early Success

Deadline to Register: September 6, 2016

This session is a "can't miss" opportunity for those seeking no-nonsense advice to questions all new lawyers have but are too afraid to ask: How do I gain actual practical experience as a young associate? What are the best ways to build relationships inside and outside my firm? When should I make a career transition, and how do I accomplish this without burning any bridges? Hear practical tips on how to navigate your first 10 years of practice from two lawyers who have been there, and lived to tell the tale.

The New Lawyers Section Business Meeting with round table discussion will follow the CLE at 5:30 pm.

This CLE will be followed by the monthly meeting of the New Lawyers' Section, featuring speakers from MSBA's Esquire 36 initiative, who will talk about resources and projects available at the MSBA which aim to support young lawyers' career development in the first 3 years of practice. They will address concerns such as mentors and mentorship, what  do new lawyers, need? What do they want? And how can they get it? All New Lawyers Section members welcome to attend.

Speakers:

Elizabeth Sorenson Brotten - Shareholder, Lind Jensen Sullivan & Peterson, P.A.
Megan Backer Kelley - Employee Relations Counsel, Target Corporation
