Work Environment: We believe that the focused nature of our practice and working style, our long-term approach to associate development, and the firm's less formal management structure foster a friendly and supportive environment. Cases are staffed with small teams of attorneys and associates have early and frequent opportunity for substantive responsibility and client contact. In addition, as an entrepreneurial firm, all attorneys are encouraged to have personal involvement in the matters on which they work and in matters of firm policy and governance.
Compensation: We are committed to providing our associates with a level of compensation competitive with the market. The base salary for New York associates in the class of 2007 is $160,000. Compensation levels are reviewed annually and the firm provides associate discretionary year-end bonuses. The firm gives a bonus and credit for judicial clerkships.
Benefits: The firm's benefits are commensurate with other top law firms. We provide a package that includes: medical and dental insurance (including coverage for same sex domestic partners); life/AD&D insurance; disability (short and long-term) insurance; four weeks vacation; 401(K) savings plan; maternity leave; Employee Assistance Program; Continuing Legal Education; bar registration fees; relocation expenses; bar review expenses and ten day paid bar study leave (while working at the firm); pre-tax transportation program; and flexible spending account. Additionally, the firm participates in student matching gift programs.
Pro Bono: Over the past year, the firm has handled a variety of matters on behalf of public interest organizations and individuals. As an example, firm attorneys have successfully represented applicants for political asylum from several different countries. The firm has also handled matters referred by the New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and the Legal Aid Society in cases involving landlord-tenant disputes, special education law and other areas. In addition, various lawyers in the firm are involved in advising community and not-for-profit organizations.
Diversity: The firm is committed to recruiting and hiring qualified minority applicants. Among other things, we participate in the National BLSA Job Fair and support the Northeast BLSA Regional Convention.
