Hands-on (and in deep) from day one
You’ll be immersed in work that challenges you to think creatively and push your limits, collaborating with experienced colleagues who share your high standards. Our nimble model allows for access to matters and challenges early and often, providing an unparalleled growth experience. Your good work won’t just get recognized—it will make a difference.
Support for you as an individual
We believe high-quality legal work comes from lawyers who live a high-quality life, both in and out of the office. We understand the dedication that’s required to produce excellent work and recognize that showing up consistently for our clients also requires you to show up for yourself and your family.
A culture of shared success
No matter their position or seniority level, we know that attorneys and operations team members alike do their best work when they’re around people who share their values and inspire them to be their best selves. The client comes first, but we respect and value everyone who contributes to our clients’ success equally.
