Advice to law firm management:
I hope that the leadership team sees fit to reevaluate staffing levels moving forward. The firm would run a lot more efficiently with more support staff.
Pros:
The associates here are all very hardworking and intelligent, and the partners are fairly accessible and down to earth. This is a pretty good place to work, for the most part.
Cons:
There doesn't seem to be enough support staff available when crunch time rolls around. This can make things more difficult than they need to be.

Advice to law firm management:
I would like to see more events occur throughout the year, such as Christmas parties, to help bring together our front desk staff with the attorney's.
Pros:
The work here is very interesting and our team is very accommodating and professional in all regard's. I have also found the flexible hours to be very beneficial as well.
Cons:
There can be some friction between the front desk staff and the attorney's but this tends to be somewhat commonplace at most high end firms from my personal experience.
