We maintain an office space and a collaborative work environment including regular team meetings, business and legal development education. When you are not collaborating or in career development programs, you have the discretion to work outside of the office. Business development- We will provide you with the foundation you need to develop relationships that will either enhance your ability to represent your clients or to create your own client relationships. We do this through our structured CEFoundations program and also through the assignment of a business planning coordinator. Social engagement- We offer a number activities throughout the year for which the sole focus is facilitating building interpersonal relationships in the firm. These events range from charity activities to attorney golf outings. Enjoying work is in no small part a function of enjoying your co-workers. We facilitate that as often as possible. Legal development- We afford all attorneys the opportunity to participate in in-house skill development sessions as well as to identify opportunities to attend legal education conferences and seminars.
