What young Lawyers really want

May 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment

A survey published in The Times highlights some of the issues that young lawyers face. Taken from a survey completed by the Law Society it identifies a number of key issues that they would like to address.

  • A work-life balance
  • A more meaningful and responsible job
  • Respect for productivity rather than long hours
  • Clarity over roles and advancement
  • Removal of the stigma attached to flexible working hours
  • Mentoring and career development
  • Professional knowledge and soft skills development, practical help and development
  • Career breaks and returner integration
  • Connection with the community or society
  • Active, effective equality and diversity policies
  • Respect for individual strengths
  • More visibility earlier, recognising contribution and client engagement

    • Interestingly this is exactly the area in which ItsMyLawis working, to provide the type of work and support that is common in other industries. ItsMyLaw is focused on providing a career alternative not an alternative career.
