FACTS AT A GLANCE
Challenging Opportunities: The office’s small size enables talented associates to take on more significant responsibilities during the course of their intellectually challenging, complex work — responsibilities that entail direct interaction with clients, opposing counsel and government officials.
Invaluable Experience: Our senior lawyers provide mentoring to associates at every stage of their career. Our partners and counsel have a wealth of experience in government and the public sector derived from years of work in legislative bodies, regulatory institutions and for a wide array of corporate clients.
Engaging Environment: We have well-developed views on public policy issues that we are more than willing to share at the slightest provocation in our hallways, over coffee or at one of our weekly lawyer lunches.
Pro Bono Commitment: Paul, Weiss has maintained a decades-long commitment to pro bono and public service. Every year our firm devotes nearly 60,000 hours to pro bono work. Associates are encouraged to introduce their own pro bono matters to the firm, and pro bono hours are considered the same as regular billable hours.
Hiring: Associate hiring is conducted through our summer program and lateral recruitment efforts. Our goal for the fall of 2007 is to hire four to five associates.
