Attorney Careers
JKW Values
Our attorneys are among the most talented and experienced in their respective areas of law. We provide our attorneys with the autonomy to develop and manage their practices, while also ensuring they have the resources and support they need to not only succeed but to grow.
Our senior partners support others who are looking to develop their practices, and the firm’s team of support personnel are here to help as well. As a mid-size law firm, we offer our associates and newer partners opportunities to be exposed to a variety of legal practices and to develop their skills with the guidance of senior partners.
We value the unique capabilities that each attorney brings. In addition to developing legal skills, we encourage and support attorneys in their community and professional engagements. Whether an attorney is interested in investing time in a legal or industry trade association or a particular charitable cause or community initiative, we support this and are happy to assist with these efforts.
“JKW actively supports its lawyers—well beyond the office and courtroom. Mentorship at JKW is purposeful. Senior partners continue to go out of their way to advocate for my engagement in industry associations, to encourage my development, and to help shape my practice consistent with my personal and professional goals.”
– Alana Porrazzo, Partner
The JKW Experience
Our attorneys regularly describe JKW as professional, collegial, and fair-minded. Lateral attorneys who join the firm appreciate that JKW offers the benefits typically associated with large firms, in terms of resources and support, combined with the autonomy to develop and manage their practices.
“As a law clerk and later as an associate with the firm, I was provided exceptional opportunities to develop my legal writing and litigation skills. Working with experienced partners at the firm helped me gain a better understanding of legal strategy and a greater sense of investment in the cases on which I worked. Collaborating with other attorneys as part of a legal team handling substantive work for a variety of clients led to a greater ability to navigate challenges, understand a client’s ongoing legal needs, and anticipate the next steps. Participating in this sort of development for the firm’s law clerks and associates today is a rewarding experience for me.”
– Nathan Stimson, Partner
