## Resource

Becoming a senior associate has long required a pivot in one's practical skillset and business mindset. But, in a shifting professional and technological landscape, it's no longer enough to simply be a good lawyer – senior associates must explore and leverage as many opportunities as possible to be the best versions of themselves. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Baker McKenzie senior associates Hannah Stacey and Jonathan Duff about their work in cyber law and energy and infrastructure respectively, the importance of grabbing opportunities with both hands, their respective experiences with secondments, overseas training programs, mentoring, incidental learning and development, why being a good lawyer alone is no longer enough, and what constitutes a good senior associate in the current climate.
