Lateral hiring is essential to broadening our expertise, gaining new perspectives, and strengthening our service to existing clients. New connections also enhance our prospects for new business. We actively recruit well-qualified, experienced attorneys who possess a passion for professional growth.
Client service is a core value at Nossaman and we expect everyone to subscribe to that philosophy. That’s why we encourage our attorneys to challenge themselves to achieve excellence in their chosen field of law and to consistently offer the highest caliber of service to our clients.
We require strong writing skills and excellent academic credentials and seek candidates with character, sound judgment and leadership potential. Our attorneys have the opportunity to develop and strengthen a broad range of competencies through training, mentoring, evaluation and advancement. We encourage them 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 Firm is a critical part of being a successful attorney. Full-time associates have a minimum billable requirement of 1850 hours. Public service is important so up to 100 hours of work on approved pro bono matters may be credited toward satisfying the hours requirement.
