AFLO
hires new associates every fall. While it is difficult to portray on a
website just what its like to be an associate at AFLO, we hope this page
will provide you with valuable information about our associate program
and expectations for your work experience.
Unless the associate is hired for a specific position, new associates
generally provide support for the needs arising in either the litigation
or transactional areas. New associates attend both the Business Practice
Group and the Litigation Practice Group during their first year. After
one year, the associate may choose to work in either area, or continue
to practice in both. Through the exposure to a variety of firm attorneys
and practice areas, associates will gradually develop a niche practice
of their own, whether that is becoming involved in an existing niche or
something entirely new for the law office.
AFLO’s
formal mentoring program and office orientation program introduce our
newest lawyers to the members of the office, the members of the
community and the AFLO philosophy. We strive to impart and adhere to our
core values statement, which is “Excellence and integrity in an
atmosphere of respect and cooperation.” At AFLO, you become part of a
team of collegial people who truly care about their work, their clients
and their colleagues.
Associates are reviewed annually by the firm’s Management Committee to
ensure that the associate is always aware of his or her progress. Areas
discussed include: practice area interests and development, quality of
work product, firm involvement, strengths and weaknesses, areas for
improvement.
AFLO
offers a very competitive compensation package, with full benefits .
Associates are also eligible for performance-based bonuses at year end.
