BCG Job of the Day

Location:
Texas - Houston

Description:
Houston office seeks counsel with 3+ years of experience. The candidate will join labor and employment section. Should have experience with depositions, hearings, and trials.
"Here is a firm with an illustrious past and a history of strong growth in virtually every United States market it is a part of. This firm is very strong in the litigation and corporate areas and is rapidly emerging as a preeminent intellectual property firm as well. This firm\'s illustrious history is backed up in the present day and continues because many of the leading political figures of our time have been associated with this firm at some point in their careers. Additionally, one thing which is notable about this firm is that while it continues to expand both within Texas and throughout the United States at a rapid pace, there has been limited attrition in this firm over the past several years, and its attrition rate is far below that of other national firms. As the firm has become more popular recently, it has become increasingly concerned with recruiting primarily from Top 10 law schools; however, outstanding students from less ranked schools still stand a good chance of being considered seriously by this firm. Because this firm has been traditionally strongest in litigation, the firm appears to put a strong emphasis on hiring attorneys who would be good courtroom attorneys and have personalities that have the abilities to influence juries. For the most part, attorneys at this firm believe that the other attorneys within the firm are fun to be around. One thing that attorneys at this firm also note is that--notwithstanding a candidate\'s qualifications--this firm is highly selective and often interviews several candidates for its open positions. The firm draws from top national law schools. The firm does an excellent job or rewarding its associates with a very generous merit-based bonus system."
