Its multigenerational culture, boutique size, collegial atmosphere, pro bono work and community involvement create a working environment in which employees are able to develop their skills and can take pride in their work. Â The firm boasts a wide variety of positive qualities that have attracted leading talent from large and international law firms to migrate their practices to Bird Marella.
With a total of about 90 staff members, the balance of attorneys and support staff is a strength that has successfully shaped a harmonious and effective workplace. Associates, in particular, enjoy several advantages in working at a boutique firm, such as access to substantive, hands-on experience earlier than they would in larger firms, substantial opportunity in pro bono work, and being able to work on high-profile and highly-publicized cases with distinguished attorneys. Due to this level of exposure and the firm’s limited bureaucracy, associates at Bird Marella tend to advance their careers much faster than at larger firms.
