Your first week with a new law firm can be daunting. Whether you are a young lawyer fresh out of law school, a former clerk of the court or a lawyer moving to a bigger firm, you will most likely feel overwhelmed your first week on the job. You will be inundated with new technologies, prescheduled meetings and trainings and you will probably be required to peruse a file or two on your desk. You will meet many people and probably not remember most names.

During this time, you will most likely be introduced to a representative from the firm's marketing department. He or she will sit down with you to discuss some marketing basics, such as a biography for the website, scheduling a new headshot, a press release announcing your arrival and more. In all of this mayhem, including trying to remember the location of your office and closest coffee machine, you will be tempted to allow this meeting to go in one ear and out the other. Don't let it.
