client demand has been strong across both our business law and litigation departments . on the transactional side , mergermarket in its 2017 year - end report ranked goodwin among the top 5 legal advisors across all geographies and sectors , demonstrating our continued strength across the technology , real estate , life sciences , financial and private equity industries .
er : goodwin is a cohesive blend of ideas , customs , values , personalities , backgrounds , relationships and skills . we are a bit different from other firms in that we ' re not programmatic in how we approach things . we don ' t have grade cutoffs or grids to determine who we recruit . we recruit bright , motivated people – whatever their background or wherever they come from – who appreciate our firm culture and want to work in an environment filled with energy , momentum and smart people who love what they do . this may sound more like a start - up venture than an established law firm – but it’s a good description of goodwin .
notable summer events : we believe summer should include boat cruises , outdoor concerts and baseball games , so one can expect those to be part of their experience at goodwin . spontaneous events are also initiated by the summer associates , often partnering with their mentors at the firm . these have included everything from sport fishing and golfing to gourmet cooking , billiards and live jazz .
real estate industry : from locations across the united states and europe , goodwin’s real estate industry lawyers are experts in tax , securities and erisa matters and help structure , negotiate and close complex public and private equity and debt financings , joint ventures , portfolio and reit m & a , cross - border transactions , hospitality and leisure deals , and large - scale development work .
we also offer innovative diversity fellowship opportunities for law students . our 1l diversity fellowships offer $ 10 , 000 awards to students from underrepresented backgrounds who work in public interest positions the summer after their first year of law school . fellows are guaranteed a ' straight - to - callback ' interview with a goodwin office of their choice in the interviewing season between their first and second year of law school . fellows are also invited to participate in many of our summer associate program events during their summer at the public interest organization , allowing them to give back to the community and also experience a law firm environment . goodwin’s 2l diversity fellowships provide second - year law students from under - represented backgrounds with awards of $ 15 , 000 each to help cover expenses for their third year of law school .
kind , a healthy snacking leader , and mars , incorporated , a family - owned global pet care , confectionary and food business , announced a strategic partnership whereby mars will take a minority stake in kind . as part of the agreement , the two companies will partner to grow kind ' s product offerings and business globally , utilizing each other ' s strengths . goodwin represented kind in the transaction .
i have worked primarily with chris palmer at goodwin for many years . chris is a superb lawyer and an absolute pleasure to deal with . he is very smart , knowledgeable , likeable and extremely responsive . i believe that everyone who deals with chris feels the same way . i should add that i have dealt with countless lawyers over the course of my business career but i would rank chris palmer as the best .
goodwin represents vitamin angels , a nonprofit dedicated to ending malnutrition and its deadly consequences among vulnerable and at - risk , diverse and hard - to - reach populations . it provides lifesaving and health preserving vitamins to children under five years of age and women of reproductive age , including especially pregnant women . in 2017 , approximately 61 , 000 , 000 children and women were served in 59 countries , including the us . the firm provides governance advice , and guidance regarding insurance , product liability and employment matters . we also provide guidance regarding international distribution issues including a framework for a joint venture formed to operate in india . goodwin’s work has assisted the organization establish best - in - class compliance policies , procedures and practices , all of which helped them create a highly professional nonprofit organization – one that has been given a coveted 4 star charity navigator rating for six consecutive years .
joyful heart project : goodwin represents the joyful heart foundation , a nonprofit dedicated to supporting victims of sexual assault . working on its
end the rape kit backlog
initiative , which seeks to shed light on the number of rape kits that go untested every year , the goodwin team sent public records requests to police departments and state agencies in more than two dozen u . s . jurisdictions , asking for records reflecting the number of untested kits booked into evidence over the last 10 years , and spent months following up with police and laboratory personnel . the team’s persistence has not only highlighted the number of untested kits in many of these jurisdictions but has also helped to forge relationships between joyful heart and several police departments eager to partner in achieving policy reform to end the backlog in their respective jurisdictions . this project is developing the data needed to drive lasting change and providing this previously unavailable information to the public and legislators .
goodwin has represented mit janitor francisco rodriguez - guardado in multiple federal court litigations regarding ice’s attempts to detain and deport him back to his home country of el salvador . our client fled gang violence in that country in 2006 and was allowed to remain in the us for over ten years . he has no criminal history and is a married father to four u . s . citizen children . ice suddenly took him into custody and sought to remove him to el salvador in july , 2017 . his case received substantial local attention . we obtained emergency relief from federal courts in boston and denver that prevented his immediate removal . then we filed emergency papers with the u . s . court of appeals seeking his immediate release , arguing that he should no longer be jailed because his removal was no longer imminent . the government chose to concede the matter , voluntarily releasing our client in december . goodwin’s representation continues , with efforts to reopen their client’s asylum case underway .
growth . performance . managing risk . however you define it , success in today’s global and digital age means addressing increasingly complex issues faster and more efficiently amid rapid change . making the right decisions in this environment requires strategic counsel from an advisor who not only knows how laws are evolving in jurisdictions around the world , but also has a deep understanding of your particular industry . this is goodwin . we are a global 50 law firm with a history of working on groundbreaking matters .
goodwin is also busy in the court room with its award - winning ip and appellate litigation groups leading the way . its appellate litigation team sports seven former scotus clerks and the attorneys have argued more than a dozen cases before the highest court in the land . the firm ' s litigators successfully argued for clients teva pharmaceuticals and b & b hardware in two separate cases before the united states supreme court in 2015 . they followed that up by winning another two cases before scotus in 2017 .
goodwin’s summer program provides summer associates with a realistic work experience mirroring that of a junior associate . we work closely with summer associates to understand their interests and provide opportunities to work on a broad range of assignments . summer associates are encouraged to observe client meetings , court hearings , depositions , negotiations and attend practice area meetings . we provide leading litigation and business law training programs throughout the summer . through our adviser program , summer associates are paired with partners and associates to help them integrate .
all pro bono hours can be counted toward goodwin ' s billable target . as a result , some juniors reported billing over 200 hours of pro bono each year . our sources had worked on immigration , asylum and prisoners ' rights matters , but also mentioned specific relationships with glaad , kids in need of defense ( kind ) and the innocence project . “there ' s also a housing court you can attend once a month , to assist landlords and tenants who fall beneath our pro bono threshold . ”
chambers , at its annual women in law awards last summer , named goodwin “most innovative gender diversity initiative” for our brightspots initiative , which we launched to combat unconscious bias of all types and to build even stronger , more inclusive teams . last fall , we signed on to the mansfield rule to drive diversity in leadership roles and lateral hiring . in january , we brought on a new director of diversity and inclusion , bernard guinyard , who has held diversity leadership roles in the investment banking , corporate , accounting and legal sectors .
er : we believe that having a diverse and inclusive law firm is critical to our success . our firm chairman leads our inclusion advisory committee , and goodwin is a signatory to the mansfield rule , which measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered women lawyers and attorneys of color in their recruitment and promotion practices . we make a concerted effort in our entry - level recruitment to meet with student leaders of on - campus affinity groups , to host additional in - office programs and to have our attorneys speak to students about their own experiences working in biglaw .
emily rapalino : we recruit internationally . we recruit at law schools and participate in job fairs across the globe . our work cuts across many disciplines and geographies and our recruitment efforts follow suit . part of our summer program , our newly implemented asia - track program , recently profiled by the american lawyer , is designed to attract native mandarin speakers studying at us law schools . those accepted into the program are trained in one of goodwin’s us offices for two or three years before joining our hong kong office . it’s a way to help ensure that our firm culture remains strong and vibrant across all our offices .
sw : with the development of new technologies , the business of law is becoming more complicated . to meet these challenges and differentiate our firm in the market , we are intently focused on partnering with our clients to deliver value . in addition to delivering exceptional practice of law value in our key industries , we are partnering with our clients’ operations teams and coos to help them improve operational effectiveness , develop and test new products , and share risks and rewards throughout . to this end , and in recognition of the continued importance of focus on the business of law , we have rebranded our professional staff as goodwin’s global operations team ( or go ! team for short . )
associates get a taste of goodwin ' s less ' buttoned up ' vibe during their ocis : “the interviews are chilled , ” one source recalled . “the person interviewing me was wearing jeans and a sweater – which was different to the other firms ! ” similarly , another associate described walking out of the interview “feeling like i had just had a conversation . a little bit of it was the formal ' what are are you looking for in the firm ? ' type questions , but the other half was about them getting to know me . ” during callbacks candidates typically meet a mixture of around six associates , partners and counsel over a series of 20 - minute interviews .
sw : culture is the foundation upon which our firm is built , and we never take it for granted , always working to ensure its vibrancy and health , especially as our clients’ needs drive our global growth . at goodwin , we are collaborative , collegial , innovative , entrepreneurial , financially disciplined and committed to giving back to the communities in which we work and live . we consider the cultural implications of everything we do – from hiring laterals at all levels to how we speak to each other . we believe that humility breeds camaraderie . we appreciate that we are more than an aggregation of numbers ; we are a community with our own distinct culture , which we believe is our firm’s primary asset .
for one source , goodwin ' s culture was evident “in the better - than - expected work - life balance that i ' ve had here . the more i ' ve been exposed to what my friends at other firms in new york are doing , the more i realize how good i have it . there ' s not a rigid face - time requirement and a lot of people work remotely every friday . ” associates aim to meet a 1 , 950 billable hours target from their second year onward ; if they do , a bonus is granted , and we heard that “it ' s based on both your year and the quality of your reviews . ” most of our interviewees found the target achievable , especially because a generous amount of pro bono can be put toward it [ see below ] .
many of our interviewees were looking for a firm with a more “easygoing environment ” at the time of their ocis , so we were curious to know how their expectations matched up to the reality of life at goodwin . “it ' s a go - getter culture but it ' s not cutthroat , ” one junior reflected . another praised the firm for being a place that “encourages you to ask questions rather than make mistakes . i have messed up a few times and the partners have all been very nice about it – they understand that you learn from them . ” sources felt that this level of interaction was facilitated , in part , by the fact that “the partners are generally younger than they are at most firms , which makes it easier to talk to , be candid with and even be friends with them . ”
in may 2017 , goodwin and its co - counsel , disability rights education and defense fund and jacobson education law , filed a class action suit against the berkeley unified school district ( busd ) on behalf of busd students with reading disorders . the suit alleges that busd has failed to comply with federal and state laws concerning special education services for students with or suspected of having reading disorders , leaving many of these students unable to read at the appropriate grade level . the lawsuit seeks to reform what plaintiffs allege to be systemic deficiencies in busd’s reading programs . in october , plaintiffs defeated a motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies on the basis that such remedies were futile and provided inadequate relief for the systemic failures alleged by plaintiffs . currently , the parties are preparing to participate in settlement conferences before a federal magistrate judge .
“this is important , ” one source declared . “goodwin ' s policy of not making juniors specialize until their third year means that they encourage us to work with people from all of the offices . we do a lot of cross - staffing , which is wonderful ; the team i ' m currently on has members from across six offices . ” fortunately , our sources also liked the offices they were actually based in . the boston hq was dubbed by one interviewee as “the best law firm office i ' ve ever stepped foot in : we moved a year ago into a brand new building with lots of natural light and touches that were designed for a law firm in this millennium . ” new york residents were also happy : “we ' re in the new york times building , and we share a cafeteria with them . the location is ideal , as we ' re in something of a transit hub . ”
er : first , while many firms require future summers to decide upfront whether they want to do corporate or litigation work , we believe it ' s okay to be unsure , and that it ' s hard to know what you want to do before getting the full summer experience . we make sure to let students know that we encourage them to explore options at goodwin . not only does this allow students to make a more informed choice about their career path , but it allows them the opportunity to network with a wider array of our attorneys in different practice areas over the summer . second , our people take the time to teach . as part of our formal mentoring program , we have developed a firm - wide advisor network , through which partners collaborate to provide associates with mentoring , career guidance , and feedback that is tailored to associates ' career stages . we believe career success is about working smarter not harder , and we provide numerous opportunities to develop positive mentoring relationships during the summer program and beyond .
on a more obvious level , goodwin ' s less buttoned - up vibe is evident in its dress code . “three people have walked by my office wearing jeans in the last five minutes , ” one interviewee told us , adding that “there is one partner who turns up in hawaiian shirts and birkenstocks every day ! ” of course , sources recommended that incomers still have a suit at hand for facing clients or attending court , but otherwise explained that “jeans friday is creeping into every day . ” but it ' s not just the more relaxed dress code that shapes this “relaxed and laid back” vibe . “i think it ' s more about the hiring , ” one interviewee pondered . “they avoid pretentious people . also , they don ' t try to change you – they ' re not looking to mold you into a particular type . ” ultimately this more flexible atmosphere bodes well for a healthy social life from coast to coast . san fran sources told us that “a lot of my colleagues like to go out for a drink – we ' re just normal people who happen to work in the law , ” while bostonians revealed that the firm hires out a gym each week “so we can go and play basketball . around 20 to 30 of us go . last night , i was working late on a deal and the partner encouraged me to finish early and go – they do a good job of trying to respect people ' s work - life balance . ”

urltoken is a website designed to raise the visibility of perkins coie’s emerging company & venture capital group . just 18 months after launching the site , attorneys are receiving requests from clients and potential clients worldwide for startup company counsel and live presentations on topics of interest to founders and investors .
this site is a response to the changing landscape for startup and venture capital companies , which includes fee pressure and demands to reduce initial startup costs . perkins coie launched urltoken to help entrepreneurs and investors obtain the tools they need to start and grow great companies .
though some competitors’ sites were already providing free documentation tools , perkins coie entered the market with a distinctive design that established the site’s unique personality . the name startuppercolator is a creative mashup of the firm’s name with its audience’s and integrates the firm into the startup community . the line - drawing artwork playfully harkens to the golden age of invention and avoids stock clichés . the color palette is an electrified version of the firm’s main site . designed with generous white space , modern graphics and brief copy , startuppercolator is the hipster sibling of the perkins coie family . this speaks directly to the collective eclectic and innovative psyche of the startup ecosystem . the firm also consistently updates content on the blog , facebook and twitter , and increases visibility through aggressive media outreach .
in the past year , more than 18 , 000 global visitors , half of whom are unique , have visited startuppercolator . results since launch include new clients and increased visibility .
one encouraging result is the feedback from the venture capital and startup community asking for presentations based on the founder tip of the week blog . in 2014 , our ecvc attorneys are scheduled to present the statuppercolator series roadshow in which they share their expertise and bring the startuppercolator personality to life before target audiences nationwide .
in 2013 , the site was redesigned and enhanced to include the addition of llc documents as part of its document driver® , a self - service document generator that helps startups create a tailored set of legal documents , and incorporating two new web apps : capital calculator , which helps founders calculate dilution and liquidity under different deal scenarios , and deal dictionary , which introduces founders to the key terms that may come up in discussions with investors and legal counsel . upon completion of the founders workbench “rebirth , ” the firm made the strategic decision to showcase the new site where entrepreneurs and aspiring startups convene : the annual south by southwest ( sxsw ) festival . while hosting a launch party during sxsw , the firm was able to meet new founders and actively demonstrate all updated features and resources .
