OVERVIEWYour Future With Us |
|
Warner Norcross & Judd is one of two firms in Michigan, and one of only 115 firms nationally, to be named in Kimm Walton's book, America’s Greatest Places To Work With A Law Degree. Fifty-four of our attorneys are listed in The Best Lawyers in America, one of the highest percentages of listed attorneys for any law firm. Every year since 2003, the firm has been named one of the "101 West Michigan Best & Brightest Companies to Work For" by the Michigan Business & Professional Association. The firm's Southfield office has earned the same honor for two consecutive years, as well as being selected in 2007 by Crain's Detroit Business as one of its "Cool Places to Work" winners. We have been recognized as one of the nation’s most tech-savvy law firms according to a survey conducted by BTI Consulting Group.
Three things distinguish our firm and make it great: the quality of our practice, firm policies that encourage excellence and discourage internal competition and the exceptional quality of life in Michigan.
Attorneys who seek a challenging legal practice often feel pressure to join law firms in the nation's largest cities. The members of those firms enjoy a sophisticated practice, but they pay a heavy price: the inflated cost of housing; the emotional cost of time spent commuting and the pressurized cost of working under policies which include planned attrition; divisive internal competition and unreasonable billable hours. There is an alternative. A handful of firms in cities of reasonable size enjoy a challenging and rewarding practice without these burdensome personal costs. Warner Norcross & Judd is one of those firms.
We recruit our attorneys from law schools throughout the country or as lateral candidates. We look for people with a demonstrated commitment to excellence who have the motivation, leadership ability and cooperative spirit necessary for success in our firm and the profession. Academic success is one important indicator of those qualities. Extracurricular activities, including moot court or law review, are also significant. Equally as important is the person’s pride, professionalism and ability to work closely with colleagues.
In addition to providing exciting careers for lawyers, the firm has many challenging job opportunities for others. Nonlawyer opportunities include paralegal, legal secretary, accounting, technology, marketing and human resources career paths as a sampling. Our compensation and benefits package is very competitive, placing a high value on flexibility and work/life balance, and our work environments are comfortable and equipped with the tools needed to be successful. Professionals at every point in the organization provide exceptional support to our legal team to assist the firm in meeting the needs of our clients.
