The firm supports hybrid work arrangements and provides an annual telecommute budget. Associates are expected to meet a billable hour requirement of 1850 hours. Benefits include competitive health insurance, a 401(k) with partial match, and eligibility for both discretionary and billable hour bonuses.

The firm fosters a culture of inclusion and connection. New associates are paired with a peer mentor to support their transition, and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee offers programs such as Mentor Circles, educational workshops, and civic engagement initiatives.

Associates may receive billable credit for up to 40 hours of pro bono work annually, allowing them to pursue personally meaningful contributions.
