Careers

We highly value each member of the firm.

Our shareholders, our associates, and our support staff work together to accomplish client goals. We grow as needed to meet those demands. As a result, we differ from many other firms – we do not grow through bulk hiring and attrition. We select individuals who meet our current needs and who provide a long-term fit. With that focus in mind, we do not utilize a summer associate program.
