Advice to law firm management:
My advice is that you should believe in your abilities and must focus on your strengths. You can achieve heights in this firm if you work well and show discipline as well as dedication.
Pros:
Management cares about my career goals and is open to help you with your career goals. Training provided by attorneys was up to the mark. The attorneys here are very knowledgeable and helpful. The environment is very fast paced but co-workers are nice so it makes it comfortable.
Cons:
Sometime it was complete chaos in a very fast paced environment. The firm was always short staffed. And very little communication from Attorneys because they simply have no time.

Diversity Write a review
The firm's vision - to be the best advisor for our clients and to offer our people an exceptional place to work - depends on, and is underpinned by, achieving a diverse and inclusive organisation. We can neither offer the incisive advice our clients demand nor provide a great community for our people without understanding and appreciating the significant range of benefits - access to the widest range of talent, greater productivity, improved staff engagement, increased levels of innovation and creativity - that getting diversity and inclusion right will deliver.
