Our Skills Training for Associates and Counsel

The Akin Client Excellence (ACE) Framework outlines the core skills that our associates and counsel are expected to achieve at each stage of their career to provide exemplary service to our clients and to build a successful career as a lawyer. Our robust training programs support our lawyers’ development in these core skills. 

“My summer at Akin consisted of substantive, client facing assignments that required interactions with attorneys at high levels throughout the firm. Having the opportunity to work day-to-day with the partner in charge, department leads, and other well-established attorneys demonstrated the collaborative nature of the firm and its associates.”
