We are output oriented, meaning we don’t care when or where you work, as long as you deliver your work product in accordance with client expectations and the highest professional standards. Unlike most law firms, our work environment is fun and flexible, subject only to client needs. Although we are not a lifestyle firm and work long hours when necessary, we encourage our attorneys to prioritize their lives outside of work and make a sincere effort to accommodate personal commitments.
We will train you better than most Am Law firms. Our partners have given numerous training seminars and published dozens of articles in our areas of practice, and we will routinely share our training materials and other know-how and provide constructive feedback on your work product.
We are committed to providing our attorneys with a diverse set of opportunities to learn and grow their own successful practices. As a small firm, we have flexibility to adapt our fee structure to the specific needs of prospective clients, which better enables lawyers to develop their own books of business.
