Is there a realistic path to partner for a litigation associate?

Lateraled here a while ago - it’s a good place. RTO is 3 days per week. Respectful culture and I think people are generally happy. Interesting deals, not quite the size or fire hose of work you’d see at a K&E etc.

Only problem is the occasional disgruntled associate harboring weird anti-Canadian animus, but those people get unceremoniously weeded out pretty quick.

Hi fishes,

Hows the work culture at Acuity?

Any inside tips?

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

Should I complain to a firm's HR if the interviewers laughed at my answer during an interview? Maybe it sounded scripted but it was still heartfelt and genuine: my immigration story and how that made me appreciate the rule of law.
