Back to Culture

Mark Hancock Recognized for His Mentorship Abilities. more

Sedgwick knows that an attorney starting or continuing a career at a new law firm will have many questions that can only be answered by those that have been at the firm for several years. We have taken steps to ensure that our attorneys have access to the support they need to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence that are essential to being an excellent attorney.  

Sedgwick's Mentoring Program provides our associates with individualized counseling on career advancement and firm culture. We pair first- through fourth-year associates with two mentors – a junior mentor (associate with five-plus years of experience) and a senior mentor (partner or special counsel).  Associates with five or more years of experience are also paired with a senior mentor.  Our mentors serve as guides on life at Sedgwick and life as an attorney and maintain an open door policy where mentees are encouraged to ask questions and share concerns. In conjunction with the courses offered through our firmwide training program Sedgwick University, our mentors assist our new attorneys in identifying and achieving their short and long-term career goals and help cultivate the skills mentees need to lead the firm into the future.
