Firm Highlights

Our associates have some wonderful things to say about us. Recent quotes in Vault surveys include:

Firm Culture

“The small teams and the fact that everyone is located in the same office contribute to developing close professional and personal relationships with your coworkers.”
“The work is topnotch, the environment is pleasant, and the people are both brilliant and friendly. It’s hard to imagine a better place to litigate.”
“Partners and senior associates genuinely care about getting opportunities for younger lawyers…there is no sense of scarcity/competition for substantive, interesting work.”

“The firm is looking for someone with great credentials, but great credentials are not enough… Because we get all our partners from within, the goal is to find associates who we can imagine as future partners at the firm.

“I have found partners to be very supportive and willing to ‘get in the trenches’ on the nitty gritty work with associates, as well as willing to distribute substantive opportunities.”

“Cases are leanly staffed, so associates are heavily involved in cases and can find many opportunities to be key point people on teams.”
“The work is consistently engaging and intellectually rewarding, the people are friendly and interesting, and the firm’s commitment to excellence inspires you to do your best work.”

“The firm has been focusing more on mental health support and resources, which is a great thing. [A]ll of the partners I have worked with prioritize wellness… and have been incredibly supportive of associates and staff whenever someone needs to take time to focus on personal or family wellness issues.”

“[B]ecause of the small case teams and lack of hierarchy, even brand new associates work directly with senior partners.”
“You would have to go out of your way to avoid developing mentor relationships with the partners and senior associates at this firm.”

“Promotion to partner seems very realistic for those who choose to stay and want to make partner. Our partner-to-associate ratio is 1.5:1, and it’s not unusual for us to make five or six partners a year.”
“It’s telling that very, very few associates leave for other law firms in our region.”

“The firm encouraged me to pursue pro bono opportunities and freely allowed me to take on a pro bono appointment to represent an indigent client in his appeal to a United States Court of Appeals. The firm allowed me to be the principal drafter of the briefs in that case and will allow me to present oral argument.”

“There is a huge focus on diversity—the firm doesn’t just pay lip service to diversity issues but takes concrete action. We have a chief diversity partner who leads our diversity and inclusion committee, regular speakers and events, an associate mentoring program, etc. The diversity committee weighs in on many aspects of firm life (including the associate review process).”
