“The firm isn't pretentious. Of course, there are personalities to navigate (as always), but on the whole, lawyers and staff interact freely and easily with each other.”
“Open-door policy at all levels. Associates get along well and work together (not against one another).”
“Associates get along well organically—there is never competition or jockeying among the group for more work, favor, and/or accolades. The partners encourage an open and social atmosphere at the office by maintaining a real ‘open-door’ policy.”
“Very pleasant group of people from diverse backgrounds. Lawyers and staff all get along well and enjoy spending time with each other.”
Getting Hired Here
“A successful attorney at BSP is an overachieving self-starter with excellent grades. I wouldn't say we have ‘feeder schools,’ but we do have a lot of U of M law graduates at the firm. That said, we do actively look to other states/schools to ensure diverse, high-quality candidates at every level. BSP looks at the person, not the situation—meaning, if we find an excellent candidate, we make room.”
“The firm views prior clerkships, law school attended, and personality as key factors in hiring decisions.”
