McDermott’s Chairman, Ira Coleman is quoted in The American Lawyer.
“We were moving, prior to the pandemic, to a three days a week rather than a four days a week model with our clients, which we think was important from a talent retention standpoint,” Coleman said. “One of the big challenges for us is trying to navigate how we think about mentorship and apprenticeship when so much of the work we’re doing now is actually being done virtually.”
“It’s personally putting yourself out there that we don’t want people to lose because they’re constantly on Zoom and at home all the time,” Coleman said. “Being able to put yourself out there is what makes you successful.”
