Attorneys
All lawyers at Friday, Eldredge & Clark are long-term investments for the firm, and we prioritize the professional development of each attorney.

These are open to all attorneys at the firm and are scheduled on a regular basis to keep professional development in the forefront. Some courses include topics such as marketing and business development, ethics, client representation, billing and accountability, drafting business plans, evaluating cases, public speaking, and leadership. Our trial lawyers attend monthly training sessions on substantive areas of trial practice. Our lawyers regularly attend and speak at national conferences where they keep up with the current trends in their practice areas.
