Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP

OUR SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: It’s all about the Benjamins at Boies. Associates say they can handle grueling hours, a lack of formal training and little in the way of diversity efforts when they see that sweet, sweet cash.

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “Overall it is a good place to work. The partners are good at what they do and are nice people. One area for improvement is that there could be more attention [paid] to associate experiences. The firm is so busy that partners and associates alike are often just trying to make it through the day and the bigger picture of associate career development can get lost in the shuffle.”
• “Hard work and long hours, but exciting cases and unparalleled opportunities for client contact and real trial work.”
• “I get a chance to work on interesting cases and do actual substantive work on them. Moreover, the firm goes out of its way to make sure associates are compensated for the work they do.”
• “The cases are demanding and there is no room for error. I sometimes feel like my voice and value are drowned out by the other excellent, more senior lawyers. I get no feedback.”
