SST Training Overview

When attorneys and staff join SST, they enjoy a remarkable training program that sets us apart and sets new hires up for success.

The program was designed to exceed the expectations of a traditional onboarding process in which legal professionals are left to learn complex billing software, and timekeeping policies on their own, in addition to working up cases and establishing an effective routine with little support or insight from their colleagues.

Here’s some of what you can expect:

  • Department Introductions

  • Case Management Software Training

  • Establishing Your Routine and Communicating Effectively

  • Introduction to and Overview of Civil Procedure, Asbestos Litigation, State of the Art Asbestos Medicine, Online Filing/Docket Management Systems, Records, and Tracking Cases

  • Caseload Management

  • Client-specific Overview Covering Motion Practice, Billing, and Deposition Preparation

  • Depositions Overview and Training

  • Pre-Trial Reporting

  • Billing 101 and Timekeeping Policies

  • Successful Firm Citizenship 

At SST, we want you to become the best you can be, and you can expect us to be there by your side every step of the way.

SST Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We value and respect the strengths and differences among our employees, clients, and communities. We seek out diversity in order to bring new and richer perspectives to our firm and the clients we support. This commitment is consistent with our recognition that the outstanding people within the firm are the source of our strength. 

We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make them unique. 

We further recognize that promoting diversity is an integral component of our continuing journey for excellence as individual attorneys and as a firm. To advance our commitment to diversity, we are pursuing the following initiatives:

  • Annual review and recognition of SST’s commitment to diversity and inclusion through voluntary targeted surveys whose purpose is to collect information on how our employees experience our firm’s culture and how we can make that culture more inclusive.

  • Emphasize SST’s zero tolerance anti-harassment policy that encourages reporting of any discrimination or harassment based on gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, or other protected status.

  • Strengthen our diversity through recruiting and retaining minority and women attorneys and staff personnel from all backgrounds.

  • Focus specifically on recruitment, retention, and development of diverse talent at all levels in the firm.

  • Foster a work environment that engages, enables, and empowers people to do their best work.
