Get business. Get business. Get business. That includes positioning yourself to inherit clients from those about to retire, making sure you get credit for what you bring in (see P2above), & building positive relationships with associates because many will become in house potential clients. Plus don’t be a jerk. I’m sure you worked for asshole partners - don’t become one just because it is easy to do. Congratulations!

Congratulations! Be collaborative, but generally state your claims for clients (if your firm is one that has origination credit) and associates (that you work with and like working with you, sounds like you’re low on leverage!). At my prior firm where I “grew up and made partner”, I was too deferential and got taken off a few client files that were the reason I made equity to begin with, because the more senior partners got territorial. At big firms it’s a tight rope walk.
Agree with P3. Make marketing a consistent priority. The most successful partners I have known are always hustling. It’s very easy to let your files control your schedule and put off marketing. Getting business gives you long-term leverage in (and outside) the firm.
