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.
