Pros
I worked at BeharBehar for a little under a year. I would have continued working at BeharBehar had I not decided to move states. I liked the fact that I had a list of cases that I worked on, alone, with the Partner. The firm is a learning environment. I was able to work on these cases and prepare strategy on my own and then have meetings with the partner to discuss those ideas/strategies. I felt like during these meetings, the partner would listen to my ideas, would analyze strategies with me and most importantly incorporated my ideas into our overall case approach. As a first-year associate, I was able to prepare motions, attend hearings, and attend depositions. Finally, the work environment is friendly and the people you work with are great! My secretaries were always supportive and never treated me like I was a “first year associate.” This firm truly embodies the idea of teamwork.
Cons
Although the partners were sometimes our for personal reasons, they were still responsive over texts if needed.
