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.
