“Hey boss, can we carve out a half hour in the next couple of weeks to talk about my performance to-date? I’m interested not only in what you think I’m doing well but where you think I can improve.”
I would definitely do it in person. If it’s the sort of thing that would catch him off guard, then work it into the back end of some other visit to his office that had a positive outcome. You’ll be able to see the reaction and gauge body language that an email just can’t convey.
How long have you been there? Do you want informal feedback or something more formal?
I think as long as you frame it in a "I'm just curious and want to make sure there isn't anything on my end I need to do for reviews" and not a "why hasn't my partner done it yet" it is an okay question. But I general I feel like this is something the firm and the partner are responsible for, not you. Your job at this stage is to just do good work!
