Sullivan & Cromwell LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
The firm seeks people who meet their stringent adherence to their core values and whose intellect, character, motivation and other attributes show the candidate's potential to become a leading member of the bar in his or her home country and a valuable contributor to the firm's goals and objectives. In keeping with the firm's policy of selecting only the best, the candidates must be ranked amongst top-of-their-class. These must be supplemented by several years of home country practice. If a candidate has practiced for one or more years, it is essential to produce a recommendation letter from the previous employer. If the candidate is enrolled in a U.S. LL.M. or similar program, the firm, normally, would want to inspect the student's first semester grades. S&C encourages law firms around the world to propose candidates for the program, however, with the understanding that they may not be able to accommodate all proposals, given the small size of the program. Proposed candidates, apart from meeting the aforementioned eligibility criteria must corroborate that the candidate in choosing S&C, is interested in a permanent affiliation with the firm. S&C generally does not hire visiting lawyers who do not have several years of home country practice or who do not expect to return to their home country following completion of the program.
Sullivan & Cromwell lawyers are committed to pro bono work and consider it imperative to their all-round growth and a significant contributor to their skills and proficiency. Last year, S&C devoted more than 68,500 hours to public service, achieving a wide range of results for legal, charitable, and government organizations. S&C's work included both individual pro bono initiatives and ongoing, long-term "signature projects." There is no minimum pro bono hour's requirement and no limit on how many pro bono hours are counted toward billable hours. Approximately 63% of the associates at the firm do some form of pro bono work, averaging 65 pro bono hours annually each.
Thank you.
