About the Firm
Associate Reviews
- “You won't find a more humane law firm than Farella. Staff and attorneys have a genuine interest in the well being of their colleagues.”
- “The firm generally has a family-like culture. Many staff members have been here for 20+ years, some 30+ years. Partners have generally been here for a while. So this is a firm where everyone knows each other and people generally seem to like being with each other. People would go out to lunch together, and there were plenty of firm sponsored gatherings that were well-attended. During COVID, the culture has been more difficult to sustain, especially now that everyone is tired of Zoom happy hours. As we gradually go back to a flexible, in-person workplace, I expect that the culture will return.”
- “Genuine people working on interesting deals and with interesting clients. People are wholesome and take pride in the fact that FBM is a great place to work for everyone, from staff to partners.”

Getting Hired Here
- “I joined as a lateral associate during the pandemic, and I'm happy with the firm's efforts to integrate me and other recent lateral associates. Upon joining, I was paired with a mentoring group and associate mentor. A number of associates reached out to schedule informal chats. And some of the more-tenured associates host regular meetings to chat with and answer questions from the more recent hires.”
