5 Star Rating
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
In its hiring the firm looks for students with high academic achievement and consideration is given to undergraduate and law school academic performance. Students who show leadership capacities and show evidence of having participated in extracurricular activities are preferred. Law Review, Moot Court are an additional advantage. IP candidates must be Patent Bar eligible. Every year the firm interviews potential candidates at Southeastern law schools and job fairs. Candidates interested in pursuing a legal career at Nelson Mullins may contact the Firm directly or register for an on campus interview. However, if the candidate's law school is not on the firm's campus schedule, the firm also considers applications from law students across the country. Recruitment of summer associates is supervised by the firm's Recruiting Committee but depends considerably upon the participation of all lawyers in the firm. Nelson Mullins is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity. The firm will not discriminate in any aspect of its employment practices against any qualified applicant or employee on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or marital status.
The Firm dedicates thousands of hours to pro bono services. It is a firm tradition, a legacy that has been religiously followed by the firm's lawyers and others, throughout its more than century of existence. Over the last two decades it has donated 405,605 hours of pro bono service and regularly leads in the American Lawyer pro bono rankings. The firm's pro bono program is unique in the sense that it was designed with considerable thought, after evaluating existing pro bono programs across the country. It contains the following key elements that the program set a goal of a minimum number of annual pro bono hours per attorney, that considering the considerable resources of the firm, it should undertake large, "impact" pro bono projects and to give full billable and collections credit for pro bono matters meeting Nelson Mullins' definition of "pro bono" and approved by the Pro Bono Committee. The program has stood the test of time and even after two decades it remains the prime motivators of the firm's pro bono program. The program is recognized as one of the top pro bono programs in the country. The Firm is committed to handling complex pro bono litigation, corporate matters and legislative advocacy, as well as individual pro bono representation. The firm has sponsored externships and fellowships with several agencies, including the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, the South Carolina Appleseed Legal Justice Center and the South Carolina Center for Capital Litigation. In 1997, to mark its own 100th year of service, Nelson Mullins established five centennial fellowships to fund the work of attorneys focusing exclusively on children's issues.
