ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

THE SCOOP

From its core litigation practice, Hughes Hubbard has spun off a number of niches and industry–specific practices. Now boasting a respected Capitol Hill presence and international offices, among other additions, the firm has diversified its practice scope and stretched its geographic reach since its founding more than 130 years ago. 

Rising from the Ashes

Hughes Hubbard owes its existence to a disaster of grand scale: the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. Firm founder Walter Carter made megabucks in insurance company litigation related to the fire, generating so much business that he relocated his practice to New York City, where he eventually took on a partner in former New York governor and U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “The firm has kept its word about getting me into the practice groups I indicated were of interest and have made every effort to get me substantive and interesting work.”
• “I'm working hard, long hours, but am doing real work and learning a lot.”
• “We have extremely interesting cases with novel legal issues and high profile clients all the time in our international practice, which I love working on. The firm is great about assigning a lot of responsibility to associates.” 
• “As a relatively junior associate, I have been given opportunities to take on greater responsibility, including taking depositions and drafting motions. The firm has also made an effort to provide me opportunities to work in specific areas of the law in which I'm interested, although more often than not, these opportunities are in the pro bono and non-billable arena.”
