"Mayer Brown’s culture encourages lawyers to chart their own path. To advance, you have to put in the time and effort, and do excellent work. But you also need opportunities to share your opinion, take chances, step outside your comfort zone, make mistakes, ask for help and feel supported in your practice and your life. Throughout my career, Mayer Brown has given me these opportunities – and more."
Britt Miller, Partner-in-Charge, Chicago

Dr. Thomas Delille, Counsel, Brussels

Enhancing the Skills You Need to Succeed
Our learning and development ethos is simple: We aim to continually enhance the quality of the client service we offer by ensuring everyone has the expertise they need to work effectively and efficiently, both now and in the future. Reflecting this strong commitment to ongoing improvement in individual and team performance, our support constantly evolves to reflect changes in the legal profession. To help you navigate your career, expand your skills and deliver the best client service possible, we offer extensive learning and development resources tailored to every experience level and each region, including:
Training
We believe the informal training that results from working on client matters alongside more experienced lawyers is invaluable to every lawyer’s development and growth. We supplement this with formal legal and professional skills training through in-person and on-demand programs, practice group meetings and self-study opportunities.
Our goal is to help you enhance a broad range of skills ranging from legal writing and editing, to oral advocacy and case management, to business development and people management. We also provide training to keep you abreast of current developments and unique issues of interest to your particular area.
We offer ample opportunities to network across offices and practices, and we host global programs designed to streamline the transition of newly promoted partners into their roles and strengthen critical leadership and management skills. International secondment programs also provide a unique opportunity to expand and enhance your skills and deepen your knowledge in a new region.
Coaching and Mentoring
To help you identify and achieve your career goals, we provide one-on-one and group coaching in areas such as career and business planning, maximizing mentor relationships, transitioning to and from leave, time management and effective communication.
We are committed to helping new lawyers transition to the firm, guiding mid-level lawyers in strategizing about career goals and working closely with senior lawyers approaching partnership. In addition, we offer formal and informal mentoring opportunities to provide valuable guidance and support as you integrate into Mayer Brown and progress in your career.
"I began my career as an intern at another law firm. From the moment I joined Mayer Brown, I was exposed to high quality legal cases, gaining hands-on experience. It’s a great place to be if you want to learn – fast."
Victor Galante, Partner, Rio de Janeiro
"Unusually, I started my career as a civil engineer. My construction experience helped me stand out in a tough industry but I also picked Mayer Brown because the firm offers full service. Now I’ve actually qualified for the Finance department."
Emma Sturt, Associate, London
"As a litigator, working at Mayer Brown challenges me and enriches my professional practice with exceptional know-how and experience."
Camille Potier, Counsel, Paris
