team of attorneys in a meeting

Attorneys

Our associates get the opportunity to draft motions, work directly with partners and clients, take depositions, and argue in court early in their careers.  Our partners and counsel bring in business, run cases, and take on responsibility for the administration of our firm.   

We’re a boutique litigation powerhouse made up of former federal prosecutors, public defenders, and big firm alumni.  And the majority of our lawyers clerked for federal judges.  

There’s no shortage to the interesting and impactful cases we litigate.  The college admissions scandal cases.  The FIFA bribery prosecution.  Headline grabbing class actions.  We also vindicate whistleblowers, fend off government enforcement actions, conduct internal investigations, and take high-stakes cases to trial.  And we staff our cases leanly which means you will get the responsibility and mentoring that’s hard to find at big firms.  

If you’re looking to take your career to the next level in a collegial environment with colleagues excited about the law, then apply to join our firm.  

The Firm is dedicated to building a diverse team of lawyers and professional staff, and seeks to hire and develop talented attorneys of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, backgrounds, and viewpoints. The Firm strongly encourages members of minority groups underrepresented in the legal profession to apply. The Firm does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, military service, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
