Standard US firm minus cravath scale

Business Outlook

Pros

A variety of work and mostly nice colleagues that I don’t mind heading out for a drink with during the week.

Cons

During busy periods you will be expected to work as you would in any other US corporate shop / magic circle firm, i.e, weekends and holidays won’t be protected and working till the early hours of the morning is not out of the ordinary. However, the pay and perks have fallen far behind market. It also doesn’t help that the firm operates a total black box policy in regards to associate remuneration which is absolutely not the norm in the industry.

Business Outlook

Pros

Broad learning experience at this firm. You aren’t limited to working on a specific visa type like Fragomen or other similar operations. You get a full hour lunch unlike the 30 minute lunch some places offer. PTO is currently 3 weeks not including the 2 personal days, plus sick days. They just added maternity leave for staff about a year ago and it’s the bare minimum.

Cons

The biggest issue is the law firm has a top down negative view on internal promotions and the creation of new positions. They are part of the problem for keeping staff on because they make it difficult to retain employees and reward those that stay. The benefits for maternity leave are the bare minimum. New hire attorneys receive no training on what our systems are like or internal practice group policies making it fall on the paralegals to explain “we don’t do that here”. Training for new hire staff is also inconsistent on how to use internal IT systems efficiently.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can generate your own book of business you are able to really have your own mini law firm within this multi national firm. They encourage business development and will fund most reasonable ideas to grow your business.

Cons

Compensation level is highly depending on year end bonus. It is set randomly without any real metrics and often prefers old timers who have been at the firm for decades even if not producing any more.
