Why did you choose Sullivan?

I chose Sullivan because of the people. It was clear to me prior to joining Sullivan that the partners and associates work in a supportive, collaborative environment in which people value one another’s input. In addition, it was clear to me that if I joined Sullivan I would be working with extremely intelligent attorneys on complex matters. That combination was very attractive because it presents junior attorneys with exciting opportunities in an environment where asking questions and learning is supported.

Sullivan’s first-year rotation program drew me to the firm. Although I knew before starting law school that I wanted to work in a transactional area, I was uncertain which practice appealed to me. The rotation gives first-year associates the opportunity to make an informed decision.

Why did you choose Sullivan?

I wanted a medium-sized Boston based firm where I could settle in and build my practice from the ground up. I met such wonderful people during the hiring process that I knew this would be a place I could feel very comfortable with my colleagues and still work on top-notch matters. Between the size, location, people, caliber of work, commitment to pro bono, and the first year rotation, it was a no-brainer!

I liked the fact that Sullivan combined the resources of a bigger firm, including an international presence, with the individual attention on associate development of a smaller firm. That balance makes Sullivan unique among the firms I considered.
