3Ls: Professional Development

Arnold & Porter LLP invests significant resources in assisting in the development of our attorneys to ensure that they are and continue to be leading legal and business minds.

A full-time Senior Manager of Professional Development and a team of professional staff oversee the firm’s effort to assist in training and development of all of our attorneys. With their help, and in partnership with all attorneys, the firm strives to provide a comprehensive approach to assist in associate career development and advancement through: (1) formal training in legal and core skills with in-house programs and external continuing legal education (CLE) options; (2) on-the-job experience through work assignments, pro bono cases, and observation opportunities of experienced attorneys; and (3) career development through retreats, a formal mentoring program, and guidance from two highly-skilled career development counselors.
