Associate/Partner Relationships |
|
|
|
Each
associate has a supervising partner who is responsible for training the
associate in his or her practice area and for coordinating the assignment
of projects to the associate and the training of the associate by other
partners. Partners also organize seminars and training sessions for all
associates in our various practice areas. |
