Developing a successful and satisfying legal practice takes time, commitment, and proper training. At AKC Law, our Associate Development Program helps ensure that our associates are constantly learning, growing, and expanding their knowledge base.
The firm is committed to providing our associates with meaningful responsibility and practical experience. Associates have opportunities to negotiate transactions, manage litigation matters and work directly with clients, all with the guidance and mentorship of senior lawyers.
AKC Law offers periodic trainings for associates that focus on substantive legal topics and personal organizational and developmental skills, including time management and planning, leadership skills, technology, client relationship building, and business development. Each associate is assigned a mentor to help guide the associate in his or her professional development.
Associates are also encouraged to continue their legal education through local and national seminars. Associates receive oral evaluations of their work product from the assigning attorneys and periodic written evaluations, which provide them with feedback on professional and personal skills, including issue analysis, research, writing skills, oral presentation, use of time, efficiency, attitude, and responsibility.
The firm has a long history of developing its partners from its associate ranks. The firm does not have a set partnership track. We believe that partnership comes when an associate has demonstrated his or her ability and commitment to the firm, which varies depending on the associate.
Associate compensation consists of a competitive base salary and a bonus based on business generation and work produced. The firm offers a competitive benefits package that includes a marketing allowance, a continuing legal education allowance, medical and dental insurance, life and AD&D insurance, disability insurance, pretax health and dependent care reimbursement plan, and a 401(k) Plan with a profit sharing contribution after one year. The firm pays professional liability insurance premiums for all of our lawyers.
Our Associate Engagement Program ensures that we have fun as well! We regularly schedule activities to encourage associates to get to know each other and the partners and staff. These activities include firm parties, lunches, after-work happy hours, and golf outings.
