Great Place For White Males - Minorities Should Look Elsewhere
Pros
Good clients, lots of work, decent salaries
Cons
Great place for white males - you will become a partner in a few years. Lewis Lee is a great rain maker and he will hand new clients off to the partners so need to go out and get your own clients. If you are a minority, then watch out. While there is no overt racism , there is clearly a subconscious bias for certain types of white males. If you are a minority and manage to get your own client, the senior partners will try to put up roadblocks in subtle ways - there will be "conflicts" with existing clients, they will belittle your client for not paying the same as some of the firm's other clients, and you won't get any help navigating the internal process of onboarding a client when you land a big client but they will assign a partner of their choosing to be a "co-lead" so that they can try and steal your client if you choose to leave the firm. The firm has a horrible record when it comes to hiring and keeping minorities.
