Every year, Chambers invites junior associates nationwide to rate their firm on various aspects of firm life. The Chambers Associate guide is designed to give U.S. law students a view into the working lives of associates at the leading law firms. Sidley associates shared positive reviews on topics such as work acquisition, mentorship, client contact, firm culture, and pro bono opportunities. “I’m really impressed with the speed at which you start doing substantive work,” noted one, with another remarking: “They want you to be happy where you are, rather than just trying to fill numbers in different groups.” Participants also spoke highly of Sidley’s ‘Built to Lead’ associate development program, which was launched in 2021, with a focus on developing talent to drive superior client service.
