An ideal applicant will feel at ease communicating with clients and other attorneys, will be driven to work thoroughly and efficiently, and will be eager to gain insightful experience in the law.

This is a small firm where you will be given real responsibility. Applicants should be looking forward to achieving great distinction in law, business, academia, or other fields.
