BCG Attorney Search speaks with attorneys about law firms every day. Here is what attorneys are saying:

akng partner and keeping clients



K&L Gates is a law firm with offices in Seattle, Dallas, and its headquarters in Pittsburgh. Reviews from those who have worked at the firm describe a positive culture with appreciation for the often long hours of work. Employees have access to free lunches and a great location a block from the White House. The firm is well-organized and the Dallas office is described as being good. Benefits, salary, and the team atmosphere are also praised.

Negative reviews of the firm mention no real leadership, direction, or training; raises being underwhelming; and the headquarters being demanding and showing favoritism. The snack selection and presentation varies with staff advancement/turnover, and there is too much turnover for some. Healthcare is described as being too expensive and there is the stress of making partner and keeping clients. The firm is also described as being very large and hard to keep profitable. Overall, while the reviews of K&L Gates are mostly positive, there are some areas where employees feel that the firm could improve.
