Nossaman actively recruits well qualified, experienced attorneys for all of the Firm's practice areas and offices. We encourage our attorneys to challenge themselves to achieve excellence in the field of law and to offer the highest caliber of service to our clients. Client service is a core value at Nossaman and we expect everyone to subscribe to that philosophy.
We look for attorneys with a commitment to professional growth. Lateral hiring is essential to broadening our expertise, strengthening our service to existing clients, and enhancing our prospects for new clients. In the past year alone Nossaman has welcomed 10 lateral partners and associates to our offices in California, Washington, DC, and Austin.
Here's a link to an article that may prove useful in your search: "Big Dreams? Try a Smaller Firm." It was published by the Daily Journal and authored by Firm Managing Partner Michael Heumann and former Assistant Managing Partner Mary Antoine. The article provides insight into the experience and benefits offered by mid-sized law firms and how making that leap can springboard your career.
Nossaman requires strong writing skills and excellent academic credentials and seeks candidates with character, sound judgment, and leadership potential. Attorneys are offered the opportunity to develop and strengthen a broad range of competencies through training, mentoring, evaluation, and advancement. We encourage attorneys to be actively involved in their own development and take advantage of resources and opportunities provided to achieve their professional goals.
We also recognize that having a life outside of the law firm is a critical part of being a successful attorney. A benchmark of 1950 billable hours per year is set, of which 50 hours may consist of pro bono or business development hours. Nossaman offers competitive salaries and benefits.
