Sullivan & Worcester. Reviews

Advice to law firm management:
Consider raising the pay and giving new employees a better idea of what is expected of them when they are first hired so they are not blindsided later on.
Pros:
The work/life balance here is very good and the firm is very insular and close knit. It's almost like having a second family. People are very team oriented and willing to help each other out.
Cons:
Expectations are pretty high here, and low performing employees are led out the door pretty quickly. The pay could also be better.

Summer associate program
Our Summer Program gives our summer associates a realistic sense of the working environment they'll experience and the culture that they'll be a part of as full-time attorneys. Each summer associate is provided with several second- or third-year associates to help ease the transition from law school to law firm and offer guidance and feedback. We offer our summer associates the opportunity to choose assignments from a variety of practice areas, so they can explore their interests - and sometimes discover hidden talents along the way. We do our best to provide a mix of practical and analytical projects, as well as opportunities to participate in negotiations, drafting sessions, closings, depositions and other hands-on activities.
