Snell & Wilmer supports the development of every attorney through a variety of programs and initiatives led by attorneys and professional staff.
We believe the best way to learn the law and develop as a lawyer is through experience coupled with continuing education. From their first day, our attorneys are active participants in the work of the firm, contributing to the services we provide to our clients. To supplement this hands-on experience, we offer a robust attorney development program that incorporates training, mentoring, performance feedback, and social/networking opportunities to foster each attorney's professional engagement and advancement within the firm.
