Free CLE: Toxicity is not a Badge of Honor: Rethinking Law Firm Culture and Hiring

The toxic law firm story is basically a rite of passage. It shouldn't be.

For many legal professionals, navigating a toxic law firm is practically a canon event. Everywhere you turn, someone has a positively-unhinged-but-definitely-true story about a tyrannical managing partner or a rogue associate. And you've likely watched good people walk out the door, not because the work got harder, but because how your firm operated stopped matching what talented attorneys and staff actually needed to stay.

You're not imagining it: the pool of great candidates is shrinking, and every firm is fishing from the same pond. The old scorecard, where someone went to law school, how many hours they billed, whether they "fit" the mold of the partner who came before them, doesn't tell you who's going to thrive at your firm five years from now. Meanwhile, the associates you're trying to keep are quietly measuring your firm against a completely different set of expectations than the ones your generation grew up with.

Attorney Jordan Turk spent her formative years inside this problem, and this session is her honest take on where law firm hiring and culture are falling short, and what to actually do about it. Whether you're a managing partner rethinking strategy, sitting on a hiring committee, or an associate or staff member wondering if the grass is greener elsewhere, you'll leave with tools you can put to use right away.

In this CLE webinar, you'll learn how to:

• Identify the gap between traditional hiring criteria and the actual predictors of attorney and staff success and retention
• Evaluate how law firm culture, not just compensation, drives attrition
• Apply a practical framework for redesigning your hiring and onboarding practices

Good people leave firms for reasons that are fixable. Come find out what they are and what to do about them.
