Our departments serve as home bases from which our individual lawyers conduct their practices. New associates generally join a department
when they start their first year with the firm. As practices evolve, some lawyers change departments or become involved in projects in another
department depending on the firm's business needs. In addition, because the complex legal issues we handle often call upon multiple disciplines, special teams often form across
practice areas to meet our clients' needs. |
