Firm's Response
About the Firm
Associate Reviews
- “Professionally, the firm holds its attorneys to a very high standard of excellence. Though a midsize firm, the firm prides itself on competing on the same level (or exceeding) as much bigger firms. Socially, the firm is warm, casual, and somewhat introverted; people work hard, like each other, and respect each other's personal needs/boundaries. Politically, the firm tends quite strongly liberal, though there are a few more conservative shareholders. Politics don't really feature in the day-to-day life of the firm, though.”
- “Professionally, B&D has an academic-light atmosphere where lawyers are encouraged to collaborate with one another and even rely on lawyers in other B&D office locations for professional advice. Socially, each location has its own personality—the NYC office tends to have a social bunch that engage in regular firm-sponsored lunches and post-work gatherings. Very pleasant.”
- “The culture is great where everyone gets along really well and there isn't a competitive or cut-throat atmosphere like at other firms. I think this fosters comradery and collaboration which I really enjoy. We include our staff in nearly all of our events which shows just how much the firm values its staff and views them as equals in the workplace. The firm also supports initiatives of individual attorneys whether it be social events, membership in affiliation groups, or professional speaking opportunities.”
- “The firm is very casual and social. Even very senior shareholders are friendly and approachable. Prior to COVID, social events were frequent, fun, and well-attended.”
Diversity at Beveridge & Diamond, P.C.
"Our firm's founders envisioned a law practice that not only accommodates but also values and celebrates differences of personal background, intellectual perspective, and opinion. In the 46 years since our founding, we have attracted and retained a diverse group of talented lawyers and staff who affirm these values on a daily basis. These differences make us a stronger group and provide better results for our clients. Today, more than half (53%). of our lawyers are women or minorities, and 30% of our principals are women.

Getting Hired Here
- “We have relatively small summer associate classes, so you're not getting an offer if you don't have a strong, demonstrated interest in environmental law and B&D specifically. We weigh diversity pretty heavily. We hire from a pretty broad range of schools, but you obviously need to be near the top of your class if you're coming from a low-ranked school. Top feeder schools are GW, Georgetown, Harvard, American, Pace, Lewis & Clark, Vermont. We have training for those who interview candidates.”
- “Our firm hires from a number of universities including top-rated environmental law-focused schools, Ivy-leagues, and HBCUs. Important factors include grades, diversity, clerkships, journal experience, and most importantly personality fit.”
- “The firm is looking for candidates from top law schools who have a demonstrated interest and expertise in environmental law, with preference given to those who have clerked.”
