Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “I am constantly learning new things and being challenged. I was also given a lot of responsibility from the very beginning, which has helped build client relationships and encouraged growth in my field of work.”
• “I am generally very satisfied at the firm. The hours are sane, the people are great, and I really enjoy the work that I do. My one concern is that, early on, getting significant billable hours has been somewhat hit or miss. However, the assignments that I receive are interesting, varied and sophisticated, and often result in significant client contact. Moreover, most of those partners and associates delegating work are great teachers who are always willing to put in the time to explain issues and answer questions.”
• “Venable is a great place to learn how to be a lawyer. Everyone is committed to helping you become a successful attorney in the area of law that most suits your experience and career plans.”
• “If you work hard and earn a solid reputation, Venable partners will seek you out, which means high-quality work and chances for substantive responsibility.”
