Corporate lawyer goals

The first step to setting your career goals as a lawyer is to determine what kind of legal work you're interested in practicing

Lawyers can work in both the private and public sectors, and they can specialize in a variety of law disciplines, such as entertainment, real estate, civil and criminal law

This blog will show you how to set SMART lawyer goals to take your professional development to the next level

SMART is an acronym for goals that are Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound

SMART goals are easier to track, monitor, and assess—in the short and long term

Goals should have metrics that track and assess their progress against milestones or benchmarks

Then, law firms can verify if they’re on track to meet or exceed this goal or falling behind, so changes can be made to course correct
