Below are a few quotes from our associates about working at the Firm.
“I did significant, substantive work in the first year and I managed a large proportion of our interactions with clients within the first six months. It was never mundane or grunt work. It’s a steep learning curve and you need a certain amount of direction from other associates or partners, but they’re always easily accessible.”
“Everyone’s very friendly, partners’ doors are always open…Associates too have a genuine desire to help each other out, it’s not cutthroat at all.”
The firm’s size promotes a strong sense of unity. “You feel you can call any of the partners by their first name – they’d probably think it was weird if you didn’t.”
“There’s a lot of informal training. You’re always getting feedback on the job and that’s the most helpful form of training as it provides concrete examples; it isn’t just sitting in a presentation.”
In reference to our expanded office space in New York:
“It’s a brand-new floor with brand-new furniture. The new conference space is really, really nice as well. Our facilities are now top of the market for New York, which is important for client purposes and for prestige.”
