“This is an environment where people work hard, and it’s also a place that acknowledges that people have family and friends outside of work. The people I work with are very smart, confident and gregarious. I’ve been impressed by everyone I’ve worked with here — it makes me proud to be a Kirkland attorney.”
“I am valued here, my opinion matters, and I work with people who are invested in my growth. If someday I want to move on, I would be leaving one of the best law firms in the nation with the confidence that I received the highest level of training and on-the-job experience.”
