"Inept Leadership" - Anonymous
Advice to law firm management: Realize that a lot of the people who you have let go or have left are a result of the mismanaged system you have in place. You are losing talent due to your inability to reason.
Pros: Decent salary for this type of work
Health care benefits
Cons: There's really no order. Good are leaving and/or talking about leaving. They are quick to fire talented individuals. Most of the associates in the main (flagship) office are new because of turnover. Some of the partners are quick to frustration and it can get to be very stressful and awkward. A lot of people here have the toxic big law stereotype attitude or traits despite them claiming to have a "no jerk" rule. Their DEI and HR department values the traditional workplace more than they do new talented people. Lots of backstabbing.
Partners to Avoid and Why: N/A. This will be easily apparent within the first week.
Current or former employee?: Former Employee
Last Year at Employer: 2024

"A Facade" - Anonymous
Advice to law firm management: Hire HR services. Promote actual DEI. Do not put white associates over POC ones because now all of your promises are lip services that no one trusts.
Pros: They were really nice at first
Cons: They give you the "we are family" talk that is just a red flag. People are afraid of certain partners and are now fearful of their co-workers given that there is a lot of backstabbing going around that the firm refuses to acknowledge. If you upset the wrong partner here, you're gone. If you trust the wrong associate, you will be backstabbed. This is the reality of this firm which claims to be a "different firm".
Current or former employee?: Current Employee
Job type: Full time
