Pros

A global law firm with many talented lawyers across the world and a centralized support organisation (marketing, business development, HR, IT) to support and align activities.

Cons

From a local office perspective, the centralized support organisation is understaffed and is not in touch with local markets and business needs. Management should focus more on branding, external communications and employer branding - globally as well as locally.

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
