AZA associates anonymously praised the firm for work & camaraderie in Vault survey! Some of the comments from the associate survey include: “Camaraderie permeates office settings, and coworkers are respectful and friendly. Partners value associates’ input and rely on their work, giving them early opportunities in court.” “I have been given amazing opportunities at AZA that almost none of my peers can match.” “The culture is accepting, outspoken and unconventional. Lawyers socialize together frequently, and there is no strong sense of hierarchy. Lawyers and staff interact frequently, both over email and face-to-face. The staff is part of the team and commands considerable respect.” “Partners care very deeply about associate input on cases. The best ideas win out on cases here, regardless of who they come from.” “There is a strong commitment to diversity here. And not just in hiring but making sure that actual trial roles and responsibilities are given to those we hire.” Interested in applying to our summer program? Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gRYcP-r4

AZA is proud to announce we’re raising starting salaries! “Our young lawyers aren’t stuck making other people’s outlines. They’re out trying cases, and we’ll pay them more for it. When you out-hustle and out-argue, you should out-earn, too,” said Monica Uddin, AZA’s hiring partner. Interested in applying to our summer program? Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gRYcP-r4
