New York summer associate Samantha Kokonis shares her thoughts on this year’s virtual US summer associate experience. “Something that stood out for me are the formal mentors and informal buddies that have been such a support. Even before the program started, they were incredibly helpful and always available to answer questions and check in. The kindness of everyone has been incredible.”

Advice to my younger self—Emmie Jones: “Be true to yourself. I've felt pressure to fit someone else's ideal of what a Private Equity partner should be and how they should act. I realised that you can define success on your own terms. I don't have to change who I am.” London partner Emmie reflects on what she wishes she had known earlier in her career and provides useful advice to future aspiring lawyers.

Advice to my younger self—Raymond Bogenrief: “Don't be afraid to make mistakes. When you consciously move outside your comfort zone, that's where you really learn and develop your practice. Always try to do more than you think you might be capable of and don't be afraid to make mistakes, but learn from each one.” Chicago partner Raymond reflects on what he wishes he had known earlier in his career and provides useful advice to future aspiring lawyers.

Last week, the US Spectrum LGBT+ Affinity Network launched its inaugural Queer Speaker Series, which aims to educate and inspire members of the Firm’s community about issues and topics important to those who identify as LGBT+ and their allies. This session, moderated by associates Madeline Gootman and Trevor Martin, discussed LGBT+ cases in the court system with a focus on the recent Bostock Supreme Court case. Professor Michael Dorf of @cornell.law.school spoke about the Bostock decision, the implications of religious exemptions from enforcement of discrimination laws, and other cases implicating LGBT+ rights in the lower courts. Professor Sheri Lynn Johnson, also of @cornell.law.school, spoke about the efficacy of oral advocacy in the Bostock and Harris Funeral Homes cases. Thank you to everyone involved in the planning efforts and to those who were able to participate in this important discussion.

Advice to my younger self—Alexis Hojabr: “It's never too late to learn. In our international business, being able to talk to someone in their native language is definitely a bonus. I wish that I'd learned more languages when I was younger, but of course there's still time.” Paris partner Alexis reflects on what he wishes he had known earlier in his career and provides useful advice to future aspiring lawyers.

Advice to my younger self—Markus Burianski: “It's never too early to build your network. As a junior lawyer, I felt that my success would be determined solely on the quality of my work. I could have done more to build a portfolio of contacts and clients. Now I set aside dedicated time to keep in touch with my network.” Frankfurt partner Markus reflects on what he wishes he had known earlier in his career and provides useful advice to future aspiring lawyers.

When the global pandemic hit, this year's plans for our Americas Trial Academies were turned upside down. These academies are a well-established program held each summer for our litigation associates in the Americas region. With two academies planned for summer 2020, Depositions and Bench Trial, the Learning & Development and Knowledge teams quickly pivoted to move all programing to a virtual platform.

Associate Elliott Dionisio shares his thoughts on the virtual Trial Academies experience: “All of the Trial Academy programs I’ve attended have been valuable experiences both for gaining new skills, and connecting and reconnecting with colleagues from different offices. The Bench Trial program was particularly helpful in teaching trial advocacy skills from the technical aspects of composing statements and examinations, to the soft skills of presentation and demeanor. And because the program was virtual this year, we had the added benefit of learning how to translate those points from the courtroom to the camera.” Congratulations to all 2020 Americas Trial Academy associate participants, who are now leading the way in this new virtual era.
