The Firm

Because everyone comes in as a mid-level, the firm does well at integrating new lawyers quickly. The atmosphere is professional but friendly. Relations between associates and partners are generally respectful; Associates receive substantive work, with enough on their plates to keep busy, and feel matters are well staffed as far as distribution of workload. They are happy with market compensation and regular bonuses, especially in light of the manageable 1,800 billable-hour requirement. Partnership is considered a realistic goal, and the firm is seen as supportive of associate development toward that goal. $205k-$365k
