New Tool Helps Attorneys Assess Skills

Mid-career lawyers may manage cases, work with clients, or lead teams. They may also look for new roles or move to another firm.

However, career growth can be hard to plan. The LawCrossing assessment gives attorneys a clear way to review their skills.

It can also help lawyers think about their legal career development and future goals.

Skills Can Shape Career Growth

The assessment looks at key skills used in legal work. These include legal research, writing, communication, analysis, and client service.

It also covers skills such as leadership and organization. These skills can become more important as attorneys take on larger roles.

For example, a lawyer planning a job change can review their strongest skills. Those skills may help them present their value to a new employer.

Meanwhile, attorneys seeking leadership roles can look at their management and business skills.

Finding Areas for Improvement

The assessment can also help lawyers find skills they need to build.

A skill gap does not always mean a lawyer lacks ability. Instead, it can show where more training or experience may help.

Attorneys can use this information to set career goals. They may also seek a mentor, take training, or request new work.

As a result, the tool can support a broader attorney career development plan.

Why It Matters to Recruiters

The resource may also help recruiters and legal employers.

Recruiters look at an attorney’s experience and practice area. However, other skills can also matter when filling legal roles.

Communication, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving can all play a role in career growth.

Law students and newer lawyers can also use the same approach. Early planning can help them build skills for future legal roles.

Planning the Next Move

LawCrossing’s Mid-Career Attorney Skills Assessment gives attorneys another tool for career planning.

Legal careers often change over time. Therefore, lawyers can benefit from reviewing their skills as their goals change.

The assessment can help attorneys understand what they do well. It can also point to skills they may want to develop.

The interactive tool is available through LawCrossing’s attorney career development resources.
