| At V&E; we offer our associates an extraordinary opportunity to excel in a dynamic, diverse environment in one of the world's most respected law firms. The working style of our firm is based on an "open door" policy, where our lawyers — partner and associate alike — have input on key developments. This approach builds a collegial environment, and embodies our belief that the formula for success is teamwork.
Our new associates seek out client contact and may participate in critical aspects of our practice. Litigation associates gain experience on large and significant cases and also have the opportunity to lead smaller cases. Transactional associates participate in all stages of projects, both large and small. All associates are encouraged to give back through pro bono and other civic and community work.
Our commitment to each of our associates is evidenced by the multitude of courses and seminars presented at V&E;'s training centers and by our state-of-the-art courtroom. Through extensive CLE and in-house training, litigation associates develop their deposition, oral, and trial advocacy skills. Our business lawyers receive in-depth training in negotiation, accounting and drafting skills, as well as about topics specific to their practices. The training our associates receive provides a solid foundation for the integral role they play at our firm.
