Be sure to ask your PD about any available beach work. You can also ask them specifically to connect you with an associate partner who needs LoP support.

What you should not do:

Become anxious that you were on the beach

New joiners on the beach are about the Firm’s ability to provide opportunities, not about the new joiners themselves
