There is a lot of room for personal and professional growth at Hanson Bridgett. If you are determined and make the right connections at the firm it is a great starting place for a legal career.
It seems that at Hanson Bridgett you either have a great experience or a terrible one. Some former associates have felt treated unfairly by management at times.

Serving clients since 1958, we are well known in Northern California and have earned a national reputation in many of our practice areas. Our diverse client list includes large national and global companies as well as many governmental entities, regional businesses and individuals. While we keep true to our California roots, our work increasingly takes us across state and national borders. As a member of the Globalaw international legal network, we can provide clients with legal expertise on the ground in more than 80 countries worldwide. We are a certified B Corp and are socially responsible members of our communities. Our firm is driven by a commitment to diversity, charitable giving, pro-bono legal work and hands-on service.

We feel that a workforce that reflects the needs and interests of our clients and a work environment that provides wide opportunity for people with varied backgrounds are important goals. Hanson Bridgett's commitment to diversity begins with the law schools where we seek to recruit diverse classes of summer associates and support the needs of minority students through the Gerald Marcus Fellowship, which was established in 2002. We also help students from diverse backgrounds prepare for professional careers through the firm's annual 1L Interview Workshop, now in its twelfth year. Within our firm's daily activities we have joined the effort to provide greater opportunities reflected in the BASF's Goals and Timetables and the No Glass Ceiling Initiative and undertake pro bono activities that protect the rights of underrepresented minorities.
Hanson Bridgett actively recruits talented, energetic, diverse law students who share the same vision as the people who make up our firm. Our firm's main recruiting source for entry level attorneys is our summer associate program.We conduct interviews during the fall recruiting season at regional law schools to fill between 4 to 5 summer associate positions. We purposefully keep our summer program small to maintain the cooperative and supportive environment consistent with our firm's culture. A relatively small summer program also enables our summer associates to work in all the major practice areas of our firm and to get to know the people who make up Hanson Bridgett.
