You realize this is primarily a client decision, right? I mean sure, partners need to be willing to recommend an associate for the responsibility, but when a client is paying big law money, they are paying for a partner to show up when it’s game time. Smaller stuff like disco motions, depositions, etc. are definitely doable.

Ok I’ll also take firms that let counsel/junior partners get stand-up experience at trial or oral arguments or that let associates take or defend depositions

I been a trial paralegal at various firms, I can tell you that it’s really more about the partner/practice group than the firm. Some partners/groups run their teams where the non partners don’t even see the courthouse others will go out their way to get even most junior member some level of court time arguing a very basic motion.
