Current Employee

Advice to law firm management:
Keep an open mind and work hard and they will make sure your time spent is worth it.

Take Your Money and Run Elsewhere on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

Full time Current Employee

Advice to law firm management:
N/A

Pros:
The original Robinson Silverman crew is especially bad. The original Bryan Cave crew is much better to work with. Figure out who is who.

Cons:
I previously worked here as a junior associate in the New York office. You will only be treated well if you look like them and worship like them. My advice to associates is to save your money and upon the anniversary of your second year start applying to bigger and better firms. Use this place as a stepping stone.

Partners to Avoid and Why:
Too many to name.

Pros:
Nothing.

Cons:
Everything.

Partners to Avoid and Why:
David Kasakove - a no talent lawyer who only got his position due to his ethnicity. William Hibsher - a snake in the grass. Austin Campriello - a nasty little man with a Napoleon complex.

The review for the Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP was exceptional and remarkable in every way. on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

Full time 2021 Former Employee

Pros:
5.Current EmployeeSmart Company to Work ForAnonymous Employee RecommendProsSurvivability and people first; they have a culture of evaluating and finding the pulse of the market and are able to quickly adapt, especially during an economic crisis. Instead of mass layoffs, they temporarily trim partner and staff pay and salaries as a precaution until adaptation stabilizes. This is why they have been in business for over 100 years and have very little job turnover.ConsNone that I can see at my level with the company.
