Mentoring Gen Z Lawyers: A Smarter Training Model For Law Firms, With Susan George Broach

Are your law firm’s mentorship and training programs actually working for today’s attorneys, or are they stuck in outdated one-to-one models that no longer fit how lawyers learn? In this episode of the Alpha Lawyer Podcast, Jason Marsh sits down with Susan George Broach, a commercial real estate and corporate attorney at Andrews Myers PC and a long-time leader in mentoring and developing young lawyers, to break down how mentorship needs to evolve for the next generation.
