Associate Reviews
- “Proskauer is special in that it feels like a group of normal people who enjoy working together. There are a lot of smart and driven people here, but it feels like everyone works together to succeed and are not overly competitive with each other. The socializing makes for a very close-knit group/office, which I think sets Proskauer apart from other BigLaw firms.”
- “In my practice group at least, it feels like an extended family day to day. Everyone has worked with everyone, and is eager to help each other succeed.”
- “Everyone is so driven and friendly. The environment is exciting in a way that includes every member of the team. All members of a team are encouraged to participate in meetings and contribute their perspectives, including staff and junior associates. Rudeness is highly frowned upon—I can't imagine anyone ever being rude to staff. There are also social events like group hikes and happy hours to which staff are invited as well.”
- “The culture is very pleasant—not at all in line with the general perception of BigLaw. Partners and associates are all very easy to get along with. The matters we work on are very interesting, and the deal teams are fun to be a part of.”

Getting Hired Here
- “A lot of associates come from T-14 schools, but the firm actively recruits at other schools as well. In addition to the standard factors (grades, extracurriculars, work experience), the firm seems to value collegiality. Everyone works well together at the firm, so people who are easy to get along with and want to work in a team-based environment are valued.”
- “I appreciate that Proskauer hires from a variety of law schools in search of candidates who all have a certain sociable, kind, open, collaborative attitude.”
- “A lot of new hires come from top-tier schools like Harvard, University of Chicago, Georgetown, Columbia, etc. That said, I know several associates with degrees from less ‘prestigious’ law schools. I think personality goes a long way at Proskauer. I felt that my interviews focused more on making sure I was a personality fit with the firm than on analyzing my grades or resume. My journal experience was mentioned in my interview, but only briefly. I think the firm does a good job at finding people who ‘fit’ with the culture of the firm, while maintaining diversity.”
- “Generally, the firm is looking for someone who is cooperative, hardworking, practical, and easy to get along with. As with most larger firms, they will look for high grades/prestigious law school, etc. I felt they appreciated prior experience in law firms or business, or anything akin to practical hands-on experience in the workforce.”
