A Message From Our Managing Partner
Why should you consider a career at Kramer Levin?
Ask around. One thing you will surely hear is that this is a place to build a career—not just pad a resume. We take your career as seriously as you do.
Nobody gets lost here. We are big enough to attract premier work, yet small enough to pay special attention to the training and development of new associates. We represent major companies in high-stakes, high-profile matters, yet we do it with the nimbleness and efficiency of a much smaller firm. As a new associate, you will be thrown right into the action—we are far too busy to have it any other way.
Unlike many other firms, our attorneys are not required to concentrate in a particular sub-practice within their department. We encourage them to first become skilled at all aspects of their selected field before choosing their specialty. We have seen that this training and development approach produces well-rounded lawyers and pays big dividends in the long run.
We are less formal and less hierarchical than other firms and emphasize a team approach in the way we work. We also truly believe in balancing work with outside commitments. Our benefits are generous, our policies are liberal, and our work environment is friendly and informal.
It is no accident that we emerged from the recent economic crisis stronger than ever. Well managed and well balanced, we have the breadth and depth to mobilize quickly and take on large, complex projects. As a result, we fared much better than many of our competitors.
At Kramer Levin, you can expect interesting work, a supportive atmosphere, and a successful law firm that goes to great lengths to nurture the careers of its people. Just ask around.
