At Davis Polk, we recognize and embrace the fact that different lawyers have different career goals. Our lawyers play an active role in charting the course of their practice; they have the opportunity to explore multiple areas of the practice and work with numerous lawyer mentors; they have access to a variety of career paths and alternative schedule options; and they are encouraged to seek out pro bono work that they find meaningful and fulfilling.
Ingrained in Davis Polk’s culture is the understanding that our lawyers have wide-ranging interests, talents and responsibilities. By maintaining a flexible and supportive environment, we ensure that the firm retains individuals who are the best possible advisers to our clients and the best possible colleagues to their fellow lawyers.
