CAREERS |
Among the finest law firms in the nation, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP (MS&K) attracts top attorneys who thrive in an atmosphere of responsibility and achievement. We are extremely selective in the cases we take and the lawyers who join our team, avoiding armies of anonymous associates in favor of top candidates who are inspired and driven by love of the law.
“Compared with my experience at other firms, MS&K is unique in its support and encouragement of my desire to develop a skill set that takes advantage of and complements my language skills and cultural connections to expand my tax and trusts & estates practice.”
Felicia Chang
Associate
We feature industry leading attorneys in intellectual property, litigation, labor and employment, corporate, real estate, immigration, trusts and estates, tax, international trade and entertainment law, yet maintain an informal attitude and environment. Our clients include nearly every major film, television, music recording, and multimedia company in Los Angeles; technology and new media companies; pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers; real estate financiers and developers; major hospitals; aerospace and defense manufacturers; public utilities; private universities; and major charitable institutions. They rely on us for our unique capacity for combining aggressive, personalized legal representation with impressive, experienced business acumen.
Lateral hires at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp are attorneys who have proven to be aggressive and ethical in representing their clients, and whose legal expertise is strengthened by real life experience. At MS&K, they find the freedom and resources to practice challenging law, and are given significant responsibility to help solve legal and business issues in the most efficient and effective way possible.
We maintain an informal atmosphere, and ensure that associates develop real relationships with every decision-maker involved in their career paths. MS&K is a place where individual effort is recognized and rewarded, and where each attorney’s interests are respected and nurtured. We encourage associates to achieve partnership, yet recognize that partnership is not everyone’s goal. We require hard work and the finest legal research, writing and argument, but we understand that the work needs to be rewarding. Because we are lean and efficient, every attorney produces significant, meaningful legal work.
ATTORNEY DEVELOPMENT
“The MS&K Academy bridges the gap between academic training and real world assignments. New associates are always telling me how much the program helped them to assimilate into life as an attorney and how much they enjoyed the opportunity to get to know partners and peers from other practices.”
Karin G. Pagnanelli
Co-Chair, Intellectual Property & Technology Practice
At MS&K, the team approach is executed, not just discussed. Successful attorney development is the result of a multi-faceted approach to mentoring and training. The firm launched the MS&K Academy to provide ongoing training and to associates and to encourage attorney interaction across departments. Associates are given the tools they need to hit the ground running and the opportunity to learn from and with attorneys from throughout the firm. Interdisciplinary practice groups and client teams are formed around growth industries and key clients. Associates at MS&K immediately work with partners and senior associates on teams that address challenging legal and business matters. Our attorneys and clients all benefit from MS&K’s team approach to client service.
Our attorneys meet regularly to maintain close team ties, and our managing partner’s door, not just his calendar, is always open to every attorney in the firm.
At MS&K, we seek the finest legal minds and reward them with intellectual freedom, ample resources and support to build practices that will challenge and inspire them. If you’re ready to really practice law, come join our team.
