In an effort to highlight its successful mentoring program and start similar initiatives, powerhouse firm Robinson & Cole held its first all-attorney retreat Saturday, focusing on mentoring.
More than 185 attorneys, or about 90 percent of the firm's lawyers, took part in the firm's first all-lawyer retreat in 21 years. While the firm has periodic partner retreats, Saturday's endeavor in Westbrook put the focus on mentoring, reverse mentoring and a new mentoring program for attorneys taking parental leave.
Attorneys heard stories at the retreat of successful mentor/mentee relationships that have helped Hartford-based firm continue to have one of Big Law's longest retention rates.
