Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “I am very satisfied with Kaye Scholer as an overall place to work. We have plenty of good work and lots of learning opportunities, and the people are very smart and professional.”
• “Kaye Scholer has had some poor reviews over the past couple of years, and I think those reviews were deserved. However, the new management that has taken over after the recession began is making positive changes, and those changes are starting to show promise. I think things are generally getting better at Kaye Scholer for associate life, but a firm does not go from where Kaye Scholer was to a place with thrilled associates overnight…. But, inter-firm communication and transparency has improved, and so has the training.”
• “I get substantive work and find my work to be valued. The firm is working hard on giving young associates better opportunities to develop legal skills, and while more work and better communication could be present in this area, the potential is there.”
• “My job is intellectually challenging and I love the people I work with."
