This is one of the area's oldest and most respected firms, and it is big. This firm also has a lot of really important cases and work. If you read the papers, sooner or later you will come across a major deal or two that involve these heavy hitters who, incidentally, also make terrific money. The culture of this firm, in our opinion, is friendly and conservative. What this firm does very well is give junior associates a tremendous amount of responsibility. Responsibility it good. In all respects, attorneys who come out of this firm are very competent and sought out practitioners. This firm is also very even handed in its compensation of associates. This firm is in a great section of downtown Los Angeles, and we like the art there (we are told it is very expensive). Substantively, this is a really super firm, and there is a not a lot of billable hour pressure. Associates here are encouraged to do good work, and that appears to be the standard that is applied in their reviews.
