Keep in Contact

It really is important for a lawyer to keep up their contact with pretty much everybody. Whether it is email or phone calls, make

sure that you return them promptly.

In the law profession, your reputation is everything, and nobody likes a person who never calls back or takes weeks to return an

email.

Always Be Early

When you’re attending a meeting with anyone, always show up a little bit early.

Not only does it give the impression that you are efficient and professional, it also

shows a client that you value them and that they are important.

The Devil is in the Details

Concern yourself with the small things like sending a quick in-house email. Be

professional at all times.

This means that if you’re sending a quick message to your boss or colleague, you should take time to check that it is well

constructed, grammatically correct and free of spelling errors.

Be Nice!

In such a competitive, high-powered industry, you can meet a lot of people that

you may not be too fond of, but you shouldn’t let that show!

People remember the way they have been treated, so if you’ve made a bad

impression, it could come back to haunt you.

Ask Questions

When you begin your career, you might think that it’s best to give off the

impression that you already know plenty.

If you’re unsure of something, don’t be ashamed to ask for help. It will show that

you are more concerned with getting things right than you are with having people think

you know everything.

Clean Up Your Act

Being professional doesn’t end when you walk out of your office at the end of the

day. You should stretch that level of professionalism to your online presence.

It’s very easy these days to find out a lot about a person’s social life with a quick

Google search. Be careful about what you say online and what pictures you are

associated with.

Pay Your Dues

When you are just starting out, the likelihood is that you are not going to be doing exactly what you want to be doing.

Embrace it. Everyone has to start at the bottom, but that is how you end up

working your way to the top.

Take a Break

The law profession is not the easiest sector, and sometimes, it can wear you out.

Take some time out every now and then to recharge your batteries. That’s the only way

you will stay on top of your game.
