"True to our entrepreneurial roots, Vinson & Elkins remains a place where capable and enterprising laterals are welcomed with open arms.  While our professional and academic standards are as high for laterals as they are for lawyers recruited out of law school, our meritocratic culture embraces new additions to our family.  In the 21st century, we can't imagine having it any other way."
