Explore Brooks Pierce: A World of Difference
Brooks Pierce is different. We are looking for motivated professionals who seek a different path—self-reliant but collaborative, creative, and interested in a fulfilling life in the law. We invite you to challenge your expectations about law firms and the practice of law.
Brooks Pierce prizes generalists. In an era of increased specialization, we avoid silos, encouraging interaction that often leads to insights and innovative solutions for our clients.
Brooks Pierce has many more partners than associates. The organizational structure of most leading law firms is a pyramid, with far fewer partners than associates. Our model resembles the reverse. This gives our junior lawyers the chance to work with and learn from many experienced colleagues.
Brooks Pierce associates assume responsibility early. We believe that our close-knit community of approximately 100 lawyers helps the firm effectively serve our clients with novel solutions befitting the uniqueness of the challenges they face. Frequently, an associate will work on a small team and will be the sole associate on the team or may be the lead attorney on a larger team before becoming a senior associate or partner.
Brooks Pierce is a community of collaborative individualists. We demonstrate that spirit in our commitment to our clients, to our communities, and to each other. We value our tradition of excellence while embracing innovation.
