The types of attorneys who practice at this firm are generally the most well rounded coming out of their law school class. Great grades and good presentation is what sets this firm's youngest associates apart. Associates here are quite free to be honest with the partners and feel completely at ease telling them they need more guidance on a particular project, or that they are simply spread too thin to handle a new one. Unlike other major law firms, this firm truly hires every associate with the expectation that they make partner and if you do not make partner you are not asked to leave the firm. Also, they have one of the most diverse groups of attorneys in the Southeast. Everyone is welcome. This is one of our favorites.
