As an international firm, we actively seek out candidates who are fluent in a variety of languages. We place a high standard on excellence, dedication and self-motivation. We look for candidates with outstanding academic records who have excellent verbal and written communication skills. We place a special emphasis on organization, the ability to juggle multiple assignments and work well with others, and candidates with good judgment and the highest ethical standards. We depend on our legal assistants to draw on their previous academic, professional and life experiences to help the Firm deliver quality legal services to our clients.
Legal assistants play an invaluable role in meeting our clients' needs.
Within each of these areas, assignments and work allocation are determined by client needs. The Firm has created a Mentor Program where each newly-hired legal assistant is paired with a legal assistant mentor, an experienced legal assistant who is familiar with Firm procedures and culture. This relationship helps foster growth and ease the legal assistants' integration into the Firm's working environment. Additionally, several practice groups also provide lawyer mentors. The Legal Assistant Director and Managers, who are responsible for the administration of matters relating to the staff, are also valuable resources for legal assistants.
