With regard to feedback, associates give the Firm top marks in Chambers Associate 2023.
One associate told Chambers, “Associates get experience at an early stage – we have second-years who are already chairing depositions around the globe!”
Another associate noted, “My favorite thing about the culture is that you can forget you’re speaking to partners, as there’s a flat structure. There are no egos and we’re people first, with hobbies and vacations that we want to pursue outside of work. Everyone knows each other’s families as well!”

Here’s what associates had to say in our Vault profile:
“The job experience has been wonderful—I feel so at home. I get substantive work and everyone is friendly, brilliant, and fun.”
“Everyone is extremely down to earth and makes you feel comfortable asking questions. Partners will take the time to explain something to you rather than just give you an assignment and expect you to figure it out.”
“Partners’ doors are always open and we are encouraged to just come by and ask questions we may have. Partners often come to our offices to chat about current events or work related matters. Relations are great, professional and friendly.”
“The environment is generally very congenial and friendly. Partners are generally respectful of the associates. Partnership is focused on associate retention and happiness.”
