Some of the more distinguished litigators in the State of California call this firm their home.

Associates at this firm also seem to fraternize together quite well. This is a real quality of life law firm, and the people here seem to enjoy their lives both in and outside of work. Not surprisingly, a firm of this caliber is able to attract top attorneys of all backgrounds and has managed to remain fairly selective in its hiring.

This is the ideal spot for bright, ambitious attorneys with solid work experience and outstanding academic achievements.
