CONSCIOUS “
Project Keymaker takes partner-associate mentoring relationships to the next level. Instead of the obligatory annual check-in lunch, Project Keymaker creates a platform for the most accomplished members of our firm to utilize servant leadership skills, typically reserved for outward facing causes, for intentional investment in the holistic development of their younger colleagues. Project Keymaker demonstrates the firm’s understanding that ensuring a lawyer’s long-term success at Barnes & Thornburg is not that dissimilar from the process of cultivating a fruitful client relationship. The more you pour into the client/lawyer relationship (e.g., breaking down barriers, making meaningful connections, creating opportunities, etc.), the bigger the returns. –Rubin Pusha, III
