Attorneys
We hire associates who, based on their academic and professional achievements, demonstrate both an aptitude for the law and the personality and demeanor to deal with the challenging demands of clients and senior attorneys. Qualified candidates typically have both an excellent academic background and a record of participation in activities such as law review, moot court, trial advocacy programs, clerkships, social welfare projects and other clinical or pro bono activities which demonstrate a high degree of motivation, competence and practical skill. Above all, we seek highly motivated students who will make a positive contribution to the Lathrop & Gage.
We also actively recruit experienced attorneys who contribute specific knowledge and skills to our practice groups. In return, we offer lateral hires the opportunity to lead and advance within the firm.
Recognized by Of Counsel magazine as one of the legal industry's 40 "best kept secrets," we offer outstanding students from regional and national law schools the opportunity to work in 13 core practice areas, gaining valuable experience and insight from the courtroom to the boardroom.
Upon joining Lathrop & Gage, our associates are assigned to work in practice areas that match both their own interests and preferences and the firm's needs. Typically, new associates will work with a number of different members and senior associates in one or two of our practice departments. Young lawyers are encouraged to accept a level of responsibility commensurate with their skills, abilities and desires with the intention that they gain experience, responsibility and client relations skills from the outset of their careers.
For additional information, please contact Cheri Rhodes, Director of Recruiting.
