Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

High standards
Miller & Chevalier's hiring criteria may vary, we're told, but all agree it's not an easy hire. As one midlevel associate claims, it's harder to get in without prior experience, and "given the specialized practices of the firm, [the firm] relies mostly on hiring laterals." A senior attorney says partners are looking for candidates who are "diverse and exceptionally bright," and others think the firm wants "strong writers with top grades." Luckily, alma maters are not as important, but the firm's small size raises the bar. "We're a small shop and don't hire too many people. Otherwise, it would be easier."
