Research Reports

It's no secret that firms with solid training and development programs experience less lawyer turnover; more productive work from new lawyers; closer, more positive relationships between senior and junior lawyers; enhanced job satisfaction; and increased loyalty to the firm.

Besides being essential in helping recent law school graduates to find the right career path, professional development programs also help experienced lawyers in areas such as leadership, mentoring, management, interpersonal skills, communication skills, and rainmaking.

With renewed emphasis on training in many law firms in the past several years, managers responsible for training and professional development are expected to perform more effectively, measure their success, and show their ROI in training and hiring. And that’s why IOMA Research has developed Law Firm Training & Professional Development Best Practices.
