Cahill is an ideal place for someone who has been prepared by the rigorous apprenticeship of a clerkship to move directly to the frontlines of practice. We value the experience that judicial law clerks bring to the private practice of law.
There is no lock-step approach to practice at Cahill. There are no requirements confining a lawyer to a particular sub-specialty. Lean staffing of matters and a tradition of flexibility and informality make Cahill a place well-suited to those eager and able to assume responsibility rapidly. Former law clerks joining Cahill benefit from:
- A long and rich history of government service on the part of present and past Cahill attorneys.
- The success and top-rate reputation of our litigation practice, especially in "bet the company" cases.
- Our diverse clientele, which includes some of the world's best-known companies (and their officers and directors) and many of the leading investment and commercial banks.
- The freedom to direct one's own career due to the absence of a formal assignment system.
- A unique partnership with The Legal Aid Society that provides opportunities to help disadvantaged New Yorkers achieve justice under the law.
