Advice to law firm management:
Maybe the leadership team should slow things down a bit by adding some structure and routine to the schedules of new associates.
Pros:
The environment here is very fast paced, which may not be for everyone. New associates quickly gain a lot of experience which makes this firm a great place to develop a career.
Cons:
This is a very big firm, so it can sometimes seem easy to fall through the cracks. The fast paced environment doesn't help this problem, either.

Advice to law firm management:
Stay on top of what is expected of you. Asking questions from the staff and your co-workers is key to being successful here.
Pros:
This is a fast paced environment. At every turn you are being challenged as an employee and a member of the team. This is great because the skills and guidance that is to be had here resonates through your career as an attorney. Your experience working in a fast paced environment only benefits you and your career. I've met some wonderful members here who I learned much from and the experience was very rewarding.
Cons:
Communication is hazy between employees and the staff here because of how large the firm is. The fast paced flow of this firm only hinders this communication.

The firm offers attorneys the opportunity to practice in a variety of disciplines, including business, labor and employment, litigation, public finance, and real estate. What sets Ice Miller apart from other legal firms is its commitment to specialization. The firm believes that attorneys best serve their clients when they become well-versed in core disciplines. This allows attorneys to gain valuable experience and expertise in their chosen field. Furthermore, Ice Miller attorneys have a long history of helping shape the law. In the mid-1930s, one of the firm's founding members, Harry Ice, encouraged his colleagues to “follow their brethren in the medical profession and specialize.” In the 1950s, two of the firm's attorneys were instrumental in founding the Indiana affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union. In recent years, Ice Miller has expanded its reach, opening offices in Chicago, Ill., and DuPage County, Ill. This allows the firm to better service its clients on a larger regional platform. At Ice Miller, attorneys can expect to work with a diverse and talented team of legal professionals. The firm is committed to providing its employees with a supportive work environment and a competitive salary. In addition, Ice Miller attorneys benefit from the firm's commitment to professional development. This includes providing opportunities for attorneys to attend conferences and seminars, as well as offering a comprehensive learning and development program. For attorneys looking to experience excellence in their work, Ice Miller is the ideal destination. With its commitment to specialization and client service, plus its expansive reach, the firm offers attorneys the opportunity to grow and thrive in their careers.
Ice Miller LLP practices law in the following areas and works with its clients to provide the best possible legal solutions.
Ice Miller LLP follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
Ice Miller considers each candidate on an individual basis taking into consideration things such as law school performance, personality, skills, work and life experiences as well as the needs of the Firm. The Firm's director of legal personnel and diversity works closely with the Firm's hiring partner, personnel committee and managing partners regarding recruiting and hiring practices. A number of internal initiatives such as firm-wide diversity training (started in 2006), and the creation and implementation of the Diversity Strategic Plan, have increased the overall awareness of and focus on diversity hiring during the recruiting process for new lawyers (just out of law school) and lateral lawyers. Specifically, in addition to traditional venues, the Firm has identified a number of organizations in different markets whose mission is to promote diversity and/or women and that have a vehicle to broadcast employment opportunities to broader diverse audiences. For example, Ice Miller is a member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) and the Minority Corporate Counsel Association's Firm Affiliate Network (MCCA's FAN). In addition to posting lateral opportunities with the MCCA and participating in the LCLD 1L Scholars program, Ice Miller attorneys regularly participate in several regional programs offered by the LCLD and MCCA each year.
