Why come to Best Best & Krieger? Because we think this firm in these locations offers a unique blend of exciting practice and sophisticated clientele with the atmosphere and advancement opportunities of a small firm. We are large enough to handle a broad and complex practice, yet small enough to afford our lawyers exceptional professional opportunities. We have been told by prospective employees, including 19 attorneys who joined the firm in 2010 from Sacramento's McDonough Holland & Allen, that one of the most impressive traits of our firm is the congenial working atmosphere fostered by partners and associates alike. This is confirmed by students' responses to our regular surveys:
"I came to the firm because of the practice areas, but I accepted the offer because of the people I met and the atmosphere when I visited the firm."
"I think BB&K's informal firm atmosphere led me most to accept its offer... BB&K was my first choice overall."
"People are much more down-to-earth at BB&K. Just an overall good feeling there. Also, I liked not living in the city."
"All of the tangible things are great like the location, the size of the firm, the facilities... but for me it was the people. All things being equal, the bottom line question is who would you rather spend your time with and for me it was the people I met during my visit."
