“Come to work every day thinking about the interests of your clients and your firm, and earn the trust of your colleagues. Make a real investment in getting to know them. Emails or chat threads are wonderfully useful, but trust is built over coffee, in the hallway, at lunch, and on the phone. If you want partners to put their confidence in you, they need to know you as a person, not just as someone who happens to be good at client work.”
