They were wrong. I had the opportunity to work on highly interesting and complex assignments. All of the assignments I received were real assignments, and not assignments that the attorneys just created to keep me busy during the summer. The attorneys at the firm are of the highest caliber and they treated me with the utmost respect. The summer program was both educational and fun.
Some firms offer quality of work.
Others offer quality of life. However, Rutan is one of the few firms to honestly offer both. That's why my decision to come back was so easy. As one of the oldest and largest law firms in Orange County, Rutan enjoys a diversified client base to match its several well-developed practice areas. For instance, the public law department is the largest department of its kind in California and enjoys a state-wide reputation for its representation of public agencies.
