Our Professional Development

At Sandberg Phoenix, we have an unparalleled commitment to the ongoing education and development of our members. 

We understand the importance of learning and applying new knowledge and skills that we need to deliver excellent client service and improve job performance. Our professional development takes form in a variety of formal initiatives such as conferences, courses at university and our Mentoring Program, and informal initiatives such as sharing of knowledge amongst colleagues.

We recognize the importance of continuing professional development and make initiatives for all our members to receive the education and support needed to make meaningful contributions to our firm. We go beyond the minimal continuing legal education (CLE) requirements so that we can exceed our clients’ expectations and needs. In particular, we plan and hold in-house seminars and presentations as part of our Professional Development Series through our Professional Development Committee. We focus on practical tips and efficient ways to achieve desired results in a wide variety of client matters and relate recent developments and trends to our clients and their businesses or goals.
