Business outlook
Pros
The offices are beautiful and comfortable. Most of the support staff is friendly and helpful. Very modern IT system and Word macros make the writing part of lawyering a breeze here.
Cons
The firm was barely surviving from 2008-2010 and ended up conducting stealth layoffs of at least 5 associates, but they were all told it was for performance reasons. The firm didn't want to look bad so it pointed a finger at once "superstar" associates and told them bald-faced lies about their performance. The employment department is weak from multiple defections. The firm caters to insurance companies that keep demanding lower rates. Learn your craft here then get out.
