Law Firm Insider Guide: Navigating Underutilization and Thriving During a Slow Cycle

Billable hours down? Assignments slowing? A lukewarm performance review? You are not alone. Join the Asian American Lawyers Associates of Massachusetts (AALAM) and South Asian Bar Association of Greater Boston (SABA GB) for a no-nonsense, strategy-focused webinar that pulls back the curtain on how law firms really work.

Featuring Mian Wang (Greenberg Traurig), Amisha Patel (Orrick), Ameek Ashok Ponda (Sullivan & Worcester), and Lesley Chuang (DLA Piper), this webinar will unpack what is happening behind the scenes: how partners evaluate associates (formally and informally), how staffing decisions are made, and what signals truly matter. We will share strategies associates can use to increase visibility and demonstrate value, and course‑correct when things feel off‑track.

We will also tackle the hardest question head‑on: when it makes sense to stay and invest, and when it may be time to explore external options thoughtfully. This is a candid conversation for associates who seek clarity, control, and a realistic path forward. Don’t miss it!

Teams link will be provided to all registrants on Monday, April 6.
