Seward & Kissel LLP

Vault’s Verdict: Seward & Kissel associates love their firm’s lean approach to staffing, which allows them to get in the trenches with partners from day one. While a laid-back culture and focus on work/life balance also earn high marks, associates say the lack of transparency from management can be frustrating.
