 | | | | We understand how valuable each attorney, paralegal and staff member is to the success and health of our firm. Our firm is always interested in learning about qualified candidates interested in joining us, and it is integral to our success that we hire the best and brightest. Each team member is encouraged to maintain a healthy, balanced professional and personal life so that he or she can enjoy a productive long-term career with us and we can continue to provide the highest level of service to our clients in a collegial and productive office environment.
SUMMER CLERKSHIP PROGRAM AND ATTORNEY HIRING
The firm participates in on-campus recruiting at the University of Houston Law Center where we interview potential law clerks for our summer clerkship program, but we also consider qualified second year law students from other law schools. We seek independent, motivated and hard working students who have earned a high level of academic and extracurricular success. Our summer program usually consists of two six-week clerkships in each of which not more than two qualified law clerks will have the opportunity to work directly with our attorneys. During their clerkships, each law clerk will work on research and writing projects within various practice groups. Our attorneys strive to engage the law clerks on projects that will provide them a broad and realistic overview of each practice area, including observing trial, mediation, depositions and closings, if feasible. We expect our law clerks to engage themselves fully in their work and to be proactive about ensuring that they make the most of their clerkships. We offer competitive clerkship salaries for firms of our size. Depending on the needs of the firm, we occasionally hire a law clerk to continue working with us during the academic school year.
We are committed to maintaining a small to medium-sized law firm atmosphere so that we can continue to provide each client with the personal level of attention, and our team members with the collegial atmosphere, that we pride ourselves on. Consistent with this philosophy, we expect to continue to grow cautiously in accordance with the demands of our business, but without compromising the quality of our work.
