Best PracticesLaw firm culture reflects the company's and its employees' attitudes and behaviors. Culture can be observed in the way people interact with each other, how they make decisions and the values they hold. The primary aspects of a company's culture are employee engagement, work environment and leadership style. However, a law firm's culture involves many combined and interwoven factors. Other factors contributing to its culture can include:
- Communication styles
- Time management and output expectations
- Career development opportunities
- Colleague social connections
