As this year's bumper partner promotion season wraps up, we spoke to several top partners with enough experience to offer precious words of wisdom to the freshly minted generation this week. Some great pointers in this collection, including "don't act like you're in the Hunger Games", "think like a business owner", and "buy your colleagues lots of coffees," from the likes of Penny Angell, Tamara Box, Richard East and Nicole Kar. But it's not just new partners that can learn from established lawyers and firms. The reverse is true too. The industry has woken up in recent years to the lifestyle that many younger lawyers have come to expect – and that means firms thinking about more than just the 'work' side of work. Several initiatives introduced by major firms this week point to how they want to be perceived as businesses and places to work. Linklaters followed several peers in the U.K. business community in introducing a formal menopause policy, to support its people through what can be a very difficult experience. Slaughter and May rolled out dramatic absolute emissions targets that will no doubt impress future lawyer's green leanings, while HFW also committed to a more climate friendly future with its move to what it calls London's "most sustainable tall office tower".
