ATLANTA - Ford & Harrison LLP, a national law firm specializing in labor and employment law, is proud to announce that the firm was named to The National Law Journal's inaugural "Midsize Hot List."
The "Midsize Hot List" honors twenty law firms that demonstrate exemplary innovation in practice management, fee arrangements, attorney recruitment and retention, and business development, especially in the face of current economic challenges. Ford & Harrison was recognized for its innovative "Year One Program" which is a 15-month, on-the-job training program for the firm's first year associates that was introduced in 2007.
"We are honored to be named to The National Law Journal's "Midsize Hot List," said C. Lash Harrison, Ford & Harrison's Managing Partner. "We developed this program as part of our Client Service Promise. This program has allowed our associates to develop strong legal skills, gain industry knowledge and deliver increased value to our clients at an earlier time in their careers."
"Labor and employment boutique Ford & Harrison has taken giant steps to solve problems historically associated with associate recruitment, retention, development and value," said The National Law Journal. "The 200-attorney law firm, with its largest office in Atlanta, has created the 'Year One Program' for first-year associates, a 15-month, hands-on training regimen that is comparable to a medical internship."
The National Law Journal reports legal information of national importance to attorneys, including federal circuit court decisions, verdicts, practitioners' columns, coverage of legislative issues and legal news for the business and private sectors.
