At Kochański & Partners, we firmly believe that young people are catalysts for change. This is why we have created the Next Generation Lawyers programme, our path to market excellence based on combining different perspectives, experiences and points of view.

Rather than merely teaching regulations, we demonstrate how to be a leader, understand the language of business, build relationships, and use technological innovations to develop your market position, expertise, and personal brand.

What will you learn in the Masterclass?

Next Generation Lawyers is a two-pronged investment in your future. We combine the development of soft skills with hard business development tools.

Soft skills and leadership

• Inclusive leadership: we’ll teach you how to manage a team, delegate tasks and provide constructive feedback
• Emotional intelligence: learn how to control your emotions and those of your clients in difficult situations, how to maintain professional body language and (still) think clearly and strategically
• Time management: we’ll advise you on how to plan your work and that of your team, bearing in mind the partner’s perspective, the client’s needs and your own goals

Business and personal branding

• Modern networking and network monetisation: say goodbye to random conversations. We’ll teach you the ‘3/2/1’ rule, showing you how to build value rather than just exchange business cards, and demonstrate how to transform private contacts into valuable professional relationships
• Content marketing: we’ll advise you which social media platforms to use and show you how to create engaging content to build your expert status and attract assignments
• Strategic cross-selling: learn how to identify gaps in client needs and offer comprehensive solutions

Innovation: reverse mentoring

Today, knowledge flows both ways. This is why, with reverse mentoring, you can become a mentor to our Partners.

Show us how to use new technologies and communicate with your generation. This approach breaks down hierarchies and fosters a culture of mutual learning.

The tools we put at your disposal

We don’t just leave you with theory. Participants in our programme receive access to resources that are usually only available to management:

• Budget for business development meetings: coffee or lunch with a potential client? It’s on us
• International networking: we give you access to bilateral chambers (including British, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German) and industry associations
• Data and knowledge: access to the EMIS platform and business subscriptions (Puls Biznesu, Rzeczpospolita)
• Marketing support: you can publish on the firm’s LinkedIn page, YouTube channel and in our newsletters. Under your own brand and name

Competition and awards

Remember that your commitment has measurable value.

Every action, from publishing expert articles to generating leads, is scored, and the best performers receive prestigious NEXT-G Leader titles (Gold, Silver or Bronze), as well as attractive financial bonuses and recognition on the firm-wide forum.

Join Next Generation Lawyers. Stop just doing tasks – start designing the future of law.

So, what do you say? Shall we do this together?
