Senior attorneys don’t know shit. What disturbs me is that the attorneys that were senior to the now-senior attorneys treated them so unkindly, and nobody sat down the now-senior attorneys and told them that this treatment was wrong.
I’m a junior associate who is entering my fourth year of practice. Mistakes are going to be made - this profession is a learning process. What matters is how you react and move forward. What I’ve learned from senior attorneys is how NOT to react to mistakes.
Sorry for the rant, OP.
The thing is you’re still going to make mistakes even when you learn from them. This job is so difficult and requires you to be on top of 1 million things so there are occasions where things will slip through the cracks.
Yes and no. Some of the more senior attorneys are probably smarter than you realize. And hiding problems isn’t the key. That is bound to blow up in your face. Fixing them is.
No problem - you def have something special at your firm
Experienced attorneys (11-20 years) are 10x more likely to be sued for legal malpractice than junior attorneys (<5 years).
I represent small law firms as outside general counsel - there’s good, bad and brilliant lawyers at all levels of experience.
Coming up with a plan for mistakes before they happen is key, hiding them is not - it’ll come out sooner or later.
