Pros

YLaw truly cares about their employees and is always looking for ways to ensure that we have options to have a work/life balance, and really put in the time and energy in finding the right people to join. The firm is expanding quick, but that doesn't mean they pick quantity over quality. The majority of people constantly say that coming to the office to work with the people that we have is one of the best parts of the job. Leena and her team truly listen to any concerns, will try their best to make things work for everyone, and quite honestly just want their people happy. I've been able to grow both professionally and personally because of Leena over the many years of working with her, and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

Cons

Working in law has its ebbs and flows - can be crazy one minute, and slow the next. But that's not the firm, that's just the way the job goes.

Pros

Everyone that works here is really kind and easy to work with. I always felt heard. They have a good training program in place and the other employees are always super helpful and happy to help. Progressive work environment where I felt valued. I never felt like "less than" because I was an assistant and not a lawyer. Leena values mental health and always made sure the employees are taken care of. We were able to take wellness days, no questions asked. Our gym memberships were paid for. All full time employees work 4 day work weeks, not just the lawyers. Very generous employer where I always felt valued. In my time working there, Leena paid for me to go on vacation more then once and took the entire firm on a retreat to Mexico and Whistler. They live their progressive values. The firm pays a living wage for every employee all the way down to the interns, junior assistants and the janitors who change the garbage cans. The firm is incredibly diverse and not an old men's club.

Cons

It's a very busy place to work. Things can change quickly due to the fast pace of the work. Family law is often very stressful.

Pros

Work/life balance, the people and culture, flexibility

Cons

Clients always expect immediate attention which makes the legal industry busy and demanding. It helps to have an employer who understands burnout and prioritizes mental health.
