This will be one of the most challenging years of your professional career. You have chosen a profession in which there is little room for error and where reputations and relationships are a critical component of success. You have already demonstrated the technical skills to become a successful practitioner and are now officially a first-year associate.

Demonstrating sound work habits, communicating effectively with others and establishing a solid reputation all require strong soft skills.
