Our Career Advancement Program (CAP) supports our attorneys at all levels in their development with partner mentors invested in their mentees careers; established competencies that clearly define expectations; training programs tailored to experience level, practice and need; merit-based compensation and a flexible career path that promotes lawyer development on a more individualized basis.

"In choosing a law firm, the most important thing you will be doing is making an investment in your career. You want to choose a place that’s going to make an investment in you. Whether it’s through our Work/Life Balance Committee, our Social Compact Committee, our Diversity Committee or our Professional Development Committee, we spend the time to think about what we can do to make each of our lawyers a better lawyer and how we can make this law firm a better place to be."
