· "Will teach on the practice area of law. We are constantly training!" - supervising partner
· Most cases do not go to trial.
o "All of our cases are evidentiary. There is not much factual dispute. Our clients are approaching these cases in a strong position. From an evidentiary standpoint, the evidence is in our favor. We are not exclude evidence. The evidentiary challenges are lower. It makes our job easier." - managing partner
· Various departments collaborate often, to ensure clients are represented well. They do not compete within the firm for clients.
Compensation:
· Salary: Contingent upon experience, between $100-140K. Could go higher for more senior candidates with practice area experience.
· Bonus: Based on hours, paid annually.
· Benefits:
o Healthcare: Firm covers about 60% of medical premiums (3 different plan options, which can include dependents) plus good dental and vision coverage.
