The firm sponsors an annual five-day training program for all new attorneys called the Littler Academy. Many practical subjects are discussed over this weeklong orientation. Seminars Attorneys are invited to attend the firm's annual Employer Conference. The program is designed by Littler attorneys to provide corporate counsel, human resources experts, and business owners practical lessons for workplace survival and is a valuable opportunity for new associates to learn about recent developments in employment law. Mentors All new associates are assigned to a shareholder who serves as a mentor to promote and support their professional development.
Many shareholders serve as team leaders in the firm's offices, and play a major role in training.
Pro Bono Littler strongly encourages all attorneys to spend at least 25 hours per year in advising nonprofit organizations on employment-related issues. Littler attorneys have drafted wills for AIDS patients, represented prisoners in litagation and are working to establish a program to assist the homeless in some of their legal problems.
