Springboard your career with a firm that invests in you.
If you’re a smart, driven attorney looking to build a fulfilling career at a special kind of law firm, Foster Garvey might be just the place for you. We’re proud to offer associate attorneys something different: the opportunity to do exciting, hands-on work in an encouraging environment where your growth and success matter.
Meaningful Work in a Supportive Setting
As a junior associate, you'll work closely with innovative and experienced attorneys who value you and are genuinely invested in your development. Our size and tightly knit culture ensure that you won’t be lost in the crowd, and our diverse client base gives you opportunities to make an immediate impact through high-value assignments and direct client service.
With our firm’s focused and efficient team model, you'll work alongside just one or two principals on a client matter. Our first- and second-year associates get to deal directly with clients, negotiating contracts, assisting in notable transactions, deposing witnesses, drafting critical motions, and sometimes even second-chairing a trial. As your skills grow, so will your opportunities. Many of our senior associates take lead roles in client service delivery.
At the same time, our national client base offers the type of sophisticated work that you might expect at a much larger firm. We serve Fortune 500 companies, middle-market innovators, and a broad range of privately held businesses, taking our clients’ most challenging legal issues and providing creative solutions to real-world problems. From multimillion-dollar transactions to high-stakes litigation and complex intellectual property issues, you’ll be challenged and inspired.
Setting You Up for Lasting Success
From your first day at the firm, you’ll get a glimpse of our deep commitment to public service. Our associates frequently take on transformative pro bono work with full support from the firm, providing direct services to indigent clients and nonprofit organizations.
Mentorship and professional growth are central to our associate experience. We provide the resources, guidance, and real-life experiences early in your career to help you grow your legal skills and chart a sustainable and rewarding career path.
We hire associates with an eye toward the future. Many of our principals who were once associates here now hold leadership positions across the firm, serving as practice group chairs, office managing directors, and members of the Executive Committee.
