Associate Training and Development

Axinn attorneys never stop learning.  We believe it is essential to pass knowledge onto the next generation and beyond.  Whether it be through our mentoring program or our in-house training programs, our goal is to provide training in a variety of ways. 

We focus on the development of core competencies for junior and mid-level associates, particularly with regard to litigation skills and legal writing; trial advocacy training for mid-level to senior associates; practice group-specific training for all attorneys on substantive issues and recent developments; and marketing / business development training for all our attorneys.

Mentoring Program & Business Development

Mentors play an important role in acclimating new attorneys to the firm, advising on firm or career-related issues and helping associates succeed on a day-to-day basis.  All associates are paired with a junior and senior attorney who can help guide them as they progress through their career.

All Attorneys create and update an annual Business Development plan.  Attorneys receive Marketing and Business Development training as well as one-on-one coaching from our Head of Marketing & Business Development.
