Career Trajectory: Our alumni lead major corporations, sit on federal benches, and run government agencies. This isn't just a job-it's a launching pad. The Culture (Not for Everyone) We admit it: our approach isn't traditional. We demand intellectual rigor, creative problem-solving, and the ability to collaborate across time zones and cultures. We expect you to think one step ahead, to address clients' entire problems, not just their legal issues.

Every client presents novel challenges. You'll handle disputes involving cutting-edge technology, complex financial instruments, international regulatory frameworks, and business models that didn't exist five years ago. You'll work with teams that include former prosecutors, ex-government officials, industry specialists, and cultural experts. You'll argue in courts across multiple jurisdictions, negotiate with regulators in different countries, and develop strategies that account for political, economic, and legal variables most lawyers never consider. Application Process (Straightforward, No Games) We read every application carefully. We make decisions based on merit, potential, and fit. Come prepared with a clear understanding of our work, our values, and your career objectives.
