Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.

Hiring Criteria

Although grades and school matter in Schulte's selection process, journal experience and clerkships are a major plus. Personality also counts a lot. It recruits hard working, intelligent, honest, and decent people.

SRZ hires from a variety of New York law schools, as well as other national law schools, with a special emphasis on NYU, Columbia, and Harvard. For lateral hires, Schulte concentrates on work experience. The firm has plenty of junior level associates.

Pro bono

SRZ wants its attorneys take professional responsibility to handle pro bono matters. It works for creating and sustaining an environment that encourages pro bono service in each of its practice areas. Its partners, associates and summer associates share their knowledge and time with organizations that represent the elderly, the indigent and the disenfranchised.

The firm's attorneys handle pro bono matters for organizations such as Human Rights First, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, the Federal District Court's Civil Indigent and Criminal Justice Panels, Legal Services for the Elderly in Queens, Partners in Health, Appleseed Foundation, and Lawyers Alliance for New York and Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. SRZ attorneys are associated with and counsel legal aid organizations and have received awards for their pro bono service.

The firm does not distinguish in any respect between pro bono cases and other firm matters, and its attorneys have handled many significant matters for pro bono clients.

Through its involvement with Legal Outreach, Inc., over the past eight summers SRZ has week-long internships providing junior high school minority students with a range of legal experiences.

The firm also strongly encourages participation on bar association committees and reimburses associates for half of two bar association membership fees.
