What is the best advice you could give someone during their first month at Dechert LLP?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We’re a pretty friendly group and love to share our knowledge since we’ve all been where you are right now. Say hello. If you’re accustomed to doing something differently, please try our way before giving up. There may be a reason we do it this way - feel free to ask how or why without saying you did it differently at your last place; we know it was probably different for you since it was for us, too. Meet the people you’ll be working with and around. Find out something about them and how their work affects you or your work. Welcome and good luck!
