Many firms talk about collegiality. This firm embodies it. Known as being the lifestyle oasis among billable hour oriented practices, this organization boasts almost no attrition and a fun, cheerful, and positive atmosphere. With a strong litigation section with some notable specialties (and notable partners) the work here is abundant, but associates are encouraged to keep reasonable hours and pursue their life outside the firm. Compensation is excellent, although it does begin to lag a bit for senior associates--but the attorneys here don't care. They are having way too much fun.
