Cons

-Bad culture in litigation, lots of toxic attorneys and staff. -No work-life balance. LAAs pride themselves off of working weekends and being online until 11PM.... -LAAs are very catty and team up on one another. -Lack of understanding from management, horrible work distribution (some LAAs working much harder than others) and management is quite clueless as to what actually goes on in the office. Toxic LAAs that suck up to management. -CEO does not care about staff at all. -No upword mobility, they want life long LAAs that do not push boundaries. -Most of the attorneys I spoke to say that Venable pretends to be a "lifestyle" firm when it is not. -Lack of real diversity, attorneys and management are mostly white while LAAs are mostly asian, forming alliances with those only that are asian. -No flexibility with timing, work from home days, appointments, etc...
