Dunlap Codding Senior Associate Julie L. Langdon Quoted in Law360—“6 Ways Associates Are Falling Short”
Julie Langdon was quoted by Cara Salvatore in an article published by Law360 on June 1, 2015, entitled “6 Ways Associates Are Falling Short.” The article noted the following ways associates are stumbling and offered steps to improve:
- They Aren’t Visible Enough
- They Don’t Take Ownership
- They’re Not Thorough
- They’re Not Friend Material
- They Don’t Know How to Talk on the Phone
- They Don’t Sow the Seeds for Business Development
Discussing ownership, Langdon noted that it was important to follow up relentlessly and to know what to do when mistakes occur. When they do, as they inevitably will, it’s important to own the problem quickly and take steps to correct it. “Unfortunately, it happens: A document that was supposed to be filed under seal that was, by mistake, filed publicly, and you’re calling the clerk at 8 a.m. the next morning…’take this off the docket.’” She went on to note, “All things are fixable.”
