MUNGER, TOLLES & OLSON LLP
Munger, Tolles & Olson’s founders were dedicated to the idea of handling businesses’ most complex cases and deals, while also building an egalitarian culture that would enable the firm to attract the best and brightest people. Those differentiators continue to this day and make MTO one of the most admired places to work.
MTO’s clients entrust the firm with matters of national and international importance, and the firm’s professionals take pride in the fact that they’re working for the world’s most sophisticated clients on headline-making cases. The firm also has a strong commitment to voluntarism. Attorneys and professionals alike handle meaningful pro bono matters, and on average, annually perform more than 50,000 hours.
The quality and importance of MTO’s work enables the firm to be highly selective in its recruiting efforts to attract some of the sharpest legal minds and top professionals in the country. The majority of incoming attorneys join MTO after their judicial clerkships, which tend to be from federal and state courts across the country, and most notably for the Supreme Court. On the rare occasion MTO recruits partner-level attorneys, they typically hail from the upper echelons of government including the White House, the DOJ and SEC. The firm has extraordinarily low turnover.
