ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
HistoryGodfrey & Kahn was founded in 1957. While its original focus was on tax and estates, it has gradually expanded to offer a wider array of business-oriented services. The firm's Wisconsin connections include five offices across the state, but it's not just a local operation. In early 2006 the firm opened its first office outside the United States, in Shanghai. Currently housing two attorneys, the office will assist U.S. companies with their Chinese business affairs. The firm also has an office in Washington, D.C. As a member of the TerraLex network of law firms, Godfrey & Kahn provides services around the country and even internationally.

Candidates should also be "self-confident," "service-oriented" and willing to work hard.
