Joining as a Lateral

Whether inviting a lawyer to join our partnership or offering a summer associate position to a second year law student, our goal is the same: we seek extraordinarily talented people who want to practice law at the highest and most demanding levels, while still enjoying lives enriched by public, professional and personal pursuits outside the firm.

Our history teaches us that there is no one path to success as a lawyer. Although many of our colleagues joined our firm right out of law school or a judicial clerkship, a significant number of our lawyers took career paths that led them—at one time or another—to rewarding experiences in government and public service, regulatory and law enforcement, academia and industry, corporate counsel offices and public interest. We strongly believe that such experiences are important foundations for excellence and success in private practice and we support our lawyers who pursue such opportunities throughout their careers. We also welcome lawyers whose challenging practices and experiences at other leading law firms can help us expand our practice strengths.

We are fortunate to attract an intellectually stimulating and diverse group of people with a broad range of work and life experiences. Our lawyers flourish in a collegial environment that emphasizes teamwork, collaboration and the spirited exchange of ideas in the pursuit of excellence. When you interview with us, we encourage you to get to know our firm by talking with as many of our colleagues as possible. We believe that you will soon realize that our firm represents a unique opportunity for lawyers at any stage of their career.  Our Career Advancement Program focuses on development throughout an attorney's career.
