When a law firm hires legal staff, the team culture changes and a different work environment develops as the existing staff incorporates someone new to the team. There are three vital elements for legal staff to successfully join a law firm—onboarding, training, and learning and connecting with the firm’s culture. If these steps are optimized, new employees will develop trust that this is a top workplace for them and can more quickly become contributing members of the team.
