ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

THE SCOOP   

Proskauer Rose is practically synonymous with “sports law”—clients include Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NHL and the NBA. Although flashy, this reputation shortchanges the firm’s incredibly diversified work, which features top-notch corporate, litigation, tax, personal planning, entertainment, and labor and employment practices.

From Small Business to Big Business

Firm forefather William R. Rose opened up shop in downtown Manhattan in 1875 at the sprightly age of 21. Rose's first clients were local retailers, and his skill soon caught the attention of New York's burgeoning business class, who hired Rose's firm to represent them in corporate and personal estate matters.

Proskauer Rose LLP SURVEY SAYS


Vault's Verdict: Certain changes around Proskauer Rose—including strides toward better transparency and the opening of an awe-inspiring new office in New York, complete with a wine bar—have associates happy. And while associates occasionally find themselves burning the midnight oil, it’s because they’re shouldering real responsibility in cases rather than doing busy work.

Associate Life

Satisfaction

 "Most everyone here is supportive and really wants to teach. There really doesn't seem to be a lot of competitiveness."

 "Proskauer has provided a much more cordial, enjoyable atmosphere than anticipated. I work on interesting and important matters and have been given a decent amount of real responsibility in my first several months here. I work a ton of hours, but that's to be expected."

 "Young associates have lots of opportunity to take responsibility for cases early and to learn quickly if they take advantage of the opportunities. However, there is also a culture of sucking every last breath that you are willing to give to the firm, and not giving you good work if you set some boundaries that limit the hours that you dedicate to the office."

 "Proskauer has a great balance of tradition and progressiveness. It's nice to be a part of an old-school New York firm without the crustiness and rigidity that others may experience.  The leaders at the firm seem to be constantly pushing the firm to the next level (whether it is in terms of geographic footprint, practice areas, or technology)."
