Law practice is often a team endeavor. What has been your experience with teamwork in the law?

The important components of teamwork are trust, communication, collaboration and accountability. Without teamwork there is no success. Using a sports analogy, to be successful you need buy-in from every team member. You can have a team of individual superstars, but if they don't work together, the team won't succeed. You'll have inconsistent guidance, resentment and turmoil/stress within the department. Every team member is involved in decisions that affect our department, so they feel part of the team and that their input matters.
