From a strong culture to work-life balance to gaining hands-on experience, smaller firms offer many benefits for attorneys. In a Q&A with Above the Law, principal and managing partner Rob Braverman discusses the small firm experience and the best ways to retain attorney talent at a smaller firm.

Rob’s advice for other firms when it comes to retaining top talent is, “Do not take a talented associate for granted. You’ve invested time and money in the professional growth and development of your associates.

Finally, continue to challenge them to be better by taking the time to review and constructively critique their work.”
