Friendly people, work/life balance, little supervision
Cons
Shareholders hire family and friends, big emphasis on business development which is hard to get if you are not a shareholder, little supervision. Upper management seems to lack experience
The firm encourages its attorneys to think of the practice of law as both business and profession. It encourages and assists its attorneys to grow and develop their own practice area in compliment with the firm's many practice areas. In addition, the firm has a fantastic marketing department that helps attorneys develop at all practice levels. The firm is also very supportive of efforts by attorneys to engage in the legal community and the community at large. And while the firm has five offices located throughout California, and in Seattle, it is still small enough that attorneys can maintain their collegiality.
Cons
The cons I would say are the same that accompany the practice of law at any firm. The work can, at times, be difficult. Working with contentious attorneys in litigation can wear on a person. And as with any practice, the hours can be long and demanding. But I would add that Klinedinst has a reasonable annual billable requirement that allows attorneys to maintain a good work-life balance.
