Cahill Gordon SURVEY SAYS


OUR SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: In Cahill’s free market system, you have to be a self-starter to get the real work. But even if you are burdened with piles of doc review, firm management shows its appreciation where it counts—in the paycheck. 

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “The firm culture is laid-back but the people are hard working and intelligent. The litigation practice has a diverse range of clientele and there are significant opportunities to take on interesting work and responsibility if you have initiative.”
• “[I am] doing more doc review than I would like, but the cases all have an interesting twist to them and are high-profile, so that helps some. [I] get some good substantive experience from time to time.”
• “I am very happy with the responsibility that I get at Cahill. I am working on deals with a lot of substance and a lot of partner interaction. The free market system has its pros and cons though. It is nice to be able to target work and attorneys that you want to work for, but frustrating when things are slow.”
• “Unparalleled professional development for self-starters and go-getters.”

Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP Perspective

YOUR CAREER AT Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP

Cahill Provides Great Opportunities

Cahill is best known for its broad corporate practice that includes the highly ranked corporate finance practice and its commercial litigation practice, where the firm has a long record of success resolving high-stakes disputes and litigating matters of import.  Cahill associates find tremendous opportunities for success from a mixture of exposure to top clients and the uncommon degree of respect for individuality that distinguishes the firm’s culture. 

The cornerstone of associate development at Cahill is “responsibility when ready.” Cahill is large enough to handle topflight, complex matters for important clients, and small enough to treat each associate as an individual, promoting growth personally and professionally at each individual’s own pace.  At Cahill, a culture of professionalism and mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s individuality fosters a collaborative and exciting environment.  This atmosphere encourages associates to reach their professional goals at their own pace, and in doing so, facilitate better results for clients.
