ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Firm history

Riker Danzig was established in 1882 in Newark and is now one of New Jersey's oldest and largest law firms. Over the last century or so, the firm has changed its name several times--finally settling on its current moniker in 1985. Riker's attorney roster reads like a who's who of the New Jersey legal community. For example, present attorneys include a former U.S. Attorney General and Undersecretary of State and two former New Jersey Supreme Court Justices. Two former partners now serve as New Jersey's current Attorney General and New Jersey's first female Supreme Court Justice. And if that isn't enough, Chambers & Partners ranked Riker Danzig's real estate group No. 1 in New Jersey and six of its attorneys recently appeared in the 2003-2004 edition of the Best Lawyers In America.

Tips from the inside

Valuing diverse candidates

Riker Danzig values candidates with "diversified backgrounds and interests" and looks for "exceptional leadership ability." But to get into this top New Jersey law firm, you'll also need to be "well-rounded" and "personable." Of course, you must also have "superior academic achievements and activities" and great writing skills. Although the firm conducts on-campus interviews in schools across the Northeast, it looks for applicants with a commitment to practice in New Jersey and demonstrated loyalty to the firm. Of the firm's 47 partners, 44 were "promoted from the associate ranks" and 13 "were former summer associates."
