At Jones Day "teamwork and collegiality" are not mere catch phrases, they are values that play out through the mentoring that takes place in every one of our offices. Our lawyers know that their own success is bound to the success of their colleagues. As a result, informal mentoring occurs in all of our offices because there is a common understanding that it is in everyone's interest to see that all of our lawyers become the best lawyers they can be. As a summer associate, you will have partners and associates who will mentor you. As a lawyer at Jones Day, you will have access to individuals who want to see you succeed. You and your mentor can also take advantage of in-house programs on such topics as, "Work-Life Balance," "Working with Difficult Clients," and "Business Development for Newer Lawyers." The specifics of our mentoring programs vary from office to office but the value system that encourages mentoring prevails Firmwide.
