We recognize that learning does not end in law school, and we are committed to providing our attorneys with ample training opportunities to assist with their professional development and growth. Associates receive substantial and direct client contact early on in their careers at HSE. We staff our matters with small teams of attorneys, and consequently, associates gain hands-on experience more quickly than at other firms.
In addition to the learning opportunities inherent in our day-to-day practice, and the feedback and mentoring that takes place in the course of a case, transaction or other matter, we also offer a curriculum of in-house formal training programs that assists in the development of substantive knowledge and lawyering skills. We are a certified provider of Continuing Legal Education in New York State and provide programs to assist our attorneys in meeting their CLE requirements.
Our mentor program is designed to help incoming associates navigate their careers and realize their full potential. The program pairs each new associate with a formal partner mentor who provides advice, feedback, and counsel with respect to both the practice of law, generally, and one’s progression and development within the firm.
