The client champions that participate in the Career Advocacy Program are critical to development of the associate protégés, providing them with access to C-suite decision-makers that help guide their career development. As part of the program, each champion meets privately with a small group of protégés to share insight on how they achieved success, how to take ownership of one’s career, and what they look for in their relationship counsel. Former protégés that have been promoted to shareholder have attributed the support and encouragement from champions as instrumental to their career progression.
