Pros

Stoel provided the opportunity to take on projects that weren't in the job description. If something interested you and it could benefit the law firm, it was supported.

Cons

One major downfall is the lack of confidence and innovation from attorneys. Although a "staff member" was able to explore new ideas, etc. it was very unlikely that an attorney would engage in this information.

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefit package is really great, and for an LLP they offer a great administrative structure. Although sometimes weak, frequent attempts are made by leaders to motivate and engage the staff. There is a lot of opportunity in some positions, others are likely "for life." This is great for people who want to do the same job for years and years but if you want to move up in the ranks, go to law school. The talent is amazing, and the associates and partners are the best of the best. With that comes high standards, and that means you work hard.

Cons

Like most law firms, it is about the attorneys, as it should be. But without those 2 letters behind your name, there won't be much respect given. I think this is a common attitude in law firms, but if you're not billing hours, you're not really that important.
