Career Resources
In addition to the hundreds of events held at the City Bar, we host the annual Professional Development Workshop Series. From January –June, members can attend these workshops that focus on topics like leadership, communication, time-management, and client developments. There is no charge for members to attend, and most workshops provide CLE credit. We also hold programs for attorneys seeking to re-enter or transition within the profession. If you want to start your own practice and have some questions, check out our small law firm center or contact the Director at aroytberg@nycbar.org.
In addition, we have Lawyers Connect, a series of 9 monthly social events, monthly e-newsletter and other online features.
Whether you are just starting out, or well into your career, the Committee on Career Advancement and Management produces programs to assist you with your career development needs.
Members can use our recently launched Career Counselor Referral Program to be referred an experienced career counselor, for an initial session, at a discounted member rate.
