OUR SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: Paul Hastings associates feel valued, challenged and content. Their only worry is that, with an influx of lateral associates and partners, the culture they love may soon be just a memory.

Satisfaction
• "I think as far as big firms go, I’m happier here than I would be anywhere else."
• "My job satisfaction is greatly enhanced by the level of freedom associates are given to engage in pro bono work of their own choosing."
• "The work culture is very good as most of my colleagues are my friends, including senior associates and partners. However, with the huge influx of partners and associates from other firms, the culture is changing."
• "I am given a superb amount of client interaction and responsibility for day-to-day activities on substantive matters."
