Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP Reviews
view allReviewed on May 19, 2024
Advice to law firm management:
This firm really needs a formal training system in place to help develop new associates. Leadership should also consider becoming more transparent and improving communication.
Pros:
I've never worked in a big law firm before, and Curtis is as big as they come. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I found everyone to be welcoming and easy to work with. The firm has offices all over the world, so there is plenty of opportunity available.
Cons:
There seems to be no training system in place at this firm, and feedback is generally hard to come by. Leadership doesn't always do a good job communicating with the associates, which can cause confusion.

Advice to law firm management:
Management should delegate the assignments in a more efficient manner. I also recommend that the firm hire managers that know what they are doing.
Pros:
The pay was very good. I also enjoyed communicating and working with all of my co-workers.
Cons:
The assignments can be tedious and some of the management team is highly incompetent. Also, I wish we had better health benefits.
