[quote=Anonymous]I am familiar with a few similar situations which occurred during the recent M&A boom in a niche practice area--cross-border/international tax matters in a cutting-edge practice. New hires were not given much direction and no training whatsoever even though the firm has a stellar reputation worldwide for training associates. The very diligent, conscientious associates only direction was to "figure it out". Had to rely on other more senior associates for any guidance, but even that was scarce due to the high workload and due to the cutting-edge nature of the practice. A difference, however, is that OP has experienced the same difficulties even when business was not booming. Helpful to think of "training" as "directing". With proper direction, an intelligent, conscientious associate should yield the results that you want.[/quote]
