What Distinguishes Our Firm
Most law firms claim to be
Different
However, upon close examination they are tough to distinguish.
Ours is not.
Whether it is our dress code (there is none), the lack of bureaucracy, or the fact that we try many, many more cases than the other firms, our firm is different. Here are some of the differences:
We take cases to trial—and win more than our fair share.
Companies hire us to do their most important and challenging cases. As a result, we do some of the most interesting work around.
There is little hierarchy among the lawyers at our firm.
In the last five years, 63 of our associates have been promoted to partner—8 were made partner in 2023 so far.
No dress code and no "face time" requirements.
We are a meritocracy. You are not judged by anything other than the quality of your work.
If you demonstrate you are capable of doing the work that a fifth year lawyer would do at another firm your first year, you will do it.
We will teach you how to try a case.
Our Philosophy
Litigation is a zero sum game. There are winners and losers.
We play to win.
Ethics are ingrained into our culture. We play by the rules—period. Winning the right way is the only way.
We pride ourselves on our written work and the research behind it. We win many more cases via motions to dismiss or summary judgment than at trial.
We consider it our good fortune to work with lawyers whom we not only respect professionally, but we value as friends.
To us, diversity means recruiting and retaining lawyers of every race, sex and national origin. It also means having many types of people—people with different perspectives and different personalities. We are convinced that our diversity makes us better trial lawyers.
It definitely makes the firm more interesting.
The foundation of our firm is on supporting each other.
We believe lawyers work best—and are most creative—when they are at ease in their environment and not distracted by the restrictions of formality—like ties and suits.
We encourage you to read the biographies of our firm partners and pay particular attention to their graduation dates. We believe we have the best stable of young litigators of any firm in the world.
