Senior Counsel
Foley’s formal training program provides associates with the basic skill sets they need to succeed in their designated practice areas. However, we recognize that senior associates also need specialized training that goes beyond the basics.
We have established the “senior counsel” classification for associates who have six and a half years of practice and who are on partnership track. One of the purposes of identifying experienced associates as “senior counsel” is to provide formal, focused training on business development, client relations, supervising and mentoring of junior associates, delegating work, firm economics, and billing and collection practices. This training is designed to prepare senior counsel for partnership.
As part of that process, senior counsel assume some responsibilities previously reserved for partners. Senior counsel have increased interaction with senior management, participate in certain partnership functions, may serve as mentors to associates, and may be designated as supervising or billing partners for purposes of client relationships.
