Do Associates Defy Generational Stereotypes? Download Our Free Report
How are generational tensions playing out in law firms?
The popular narrative would have us believe that the supposed traits of this millennial generation — the shrunken attention spans, the tendency to hop from job to job, the desire for “meaningful work,” etc. — is confounding their employers. We wondered whether and/or how this generational tension is playing out in the specific context of U.S. law firms. So we recently fielded, in partnership with our friends at Major Lindsey & Africa, a series of surveys looking for insight into the young associate’s views on transparency, work/life balance, the recent pay hikes, and many more topics.
We’ve pulled together all the data and today make available a report summarizing our findings. Certainly, we found that real tensions exist. Yet millennial attorneys often defy generational stereotypes in their career goals and workplace priorities. Our report is chock-full of data and insight into such questions as “Who really wants to be a partner?”, “Who cares about diversity?”, and “Is it okay to represent Big Tobacco?”
