Becoming a partner in a law firm is a
hugely exciting and satisfying moment, Aabid Farouk recalls. The
transition, he notes, is not without its challenges – understanding
how best to navigate that transition is critical.
On this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Hazelbrook Legal partner, Aabid Farouk, about his
journey in law and towards the partnership of award-winning firm
Hazelbrook Legal, what it feels like to make partner, how one can
begin to take steps to transition into one’s new role and duties,
and the questions to be asking of one’s self in this process.
Mr Farouk also reflects on the lessons he learned in those initial
months of partnership, what works and doesn’t work, making up lost
ground if one hasn’t taken the right steps, proactive versus
reactive actions, making the necessary mindset shifts, what excites
him about the experience of new partners coming through the ranks,
and his broader words of wisdom for those joining the
partnership.
