McDERMOTT WILL & EMERY
McDermott, Will & Emery believes that exceptional legal work begins with a supportive and thriving environment. The firm’s total rewards model reflects a commitment to both financial rewards and holistic well-being so that a form-wide community that thrives can be created. The firm provides a market leading family formation benefit that supports all
types of family formation journeys, including fertility treatments, adoption, surrogacy, menopause, and those dealing with low testosterone.
McDermott was among the first firms to offer billable credit for mindfulness and well-being activities, and continues to lead the industry in its commitment to prioritizing mental and physical health. The firm prides itself on being radically transparent. Every month, the chairman presents the full financials to the entire law firm, so the team can work together to meet the firm’s goals.
McDermott also conducts an engagement survey each year and all employees are encouraged to provide honest feedback. That feedback is taken, addressed and then measured throughout the year through regular touch points to keep the firm accountable and share progress. One of the biggest firm-wide community initiatives is an annual “Days of Service” where the team partners with Rise Against Hunger and other local organizations.
