Groom Law Group. Reviews
view allReviewed on May 19, 2024
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
I didn't mind working here. It was hard to remember the names of all the new people in the office with all the turnovers. Get dependable staff.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I got along very well with most of the people I worked with here. We were able to meet new clients really frequently and that added to the experience working here. Benefits were pretty good. We were offered breakfast at the office every Friday, which was a nice perk. We had other opportunities for social outings with the group.
What did you not like about this institution?
A lot of the regular staff came and went. It's like the firm couldn't keep dependable staff like secretaries or bookkeepers on hand for too long.

Diversity
Write a reviewAt Groom Law Group, we understand that our clients and potential clients expect their law firms to provide excellent service, with staffing that reflects the diversity and inclusion of their own organizations. We believe that an ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion enables us to increase our already high standard of excellence.
We find strength in differences in background and perspective among our attorneys. We value professionals who are smart and creative, and invite them to be active participants in our team-oriented environment. We seek to ensure that each attorney who joins our team feels welcomed and valued at the firm, so that he or she can realize his or her full potential. For example, each attorney at our firm is encouraged to participate in a cluster group that meets regularly to discuss any topic of the group's choice. These informal cluster groups sometimes plan activities outside of the firm and serve as an informal setting in which our attorneys can interact with each other.
Summer Associate Program
What some firms only promise summer associates, Groom delivers: meaningful work that can help advance your career. Here's how we go about it:
We know you can't contribute unless properly trained. So we assign each summer associate an individual mentor to show him or her the ropes. You'll also participate in Groom U.
