ENTRY LEVEL LAWYERS

CAREERS / ENTRY LEVEL LAWYERS Entry Level Lawyers Build the Career of a Lifetime Haynes Boone operates as a team, not a hierarchy. As an associate you have immediate responsibility for clients, and our emphasis on strong work ethic, a collegial atmosphere, open communication and ongoing professional development crafts the framework that builds responsibility into success. We have a dynamic, entrepreneurial atmosphere and our lawyers like building their careers here. If you’re looking for professional and personal satisfaction, look no further than Haynes Boone. When you start with the firm, you’ll be assigned to a particular practice area - and perhaps a more focused sub-practice area. Your assignment is matched closely with the recruiting process to ensure that your needs and ours are met - and, although it doesn’t happen often, associates can change practice areas after being with the firm for a period of time. Compensation and Benefits Over the past several years, it has been our practice to set the initial salary level of the entering class at prevailing market rates. The firm also offers a full range of benefits to associates, including medical, dental, life and long-term disability insurance benefits, as well as participation in the firm’s 401(k) retirement savings plan. Your Partnership Path Each practice section coordinates periodic evaluations of its associates - at least annually and in some cases semi-annually. Evaluations give you substantive feedback about your progress and cover issues pertinent to your practice development. Early in your career, this provides an opportunity to identify your areas of interest and to voice any concerns regarding your work experience. As you become more senior, the evaluation process also includes a discussion of your prospects of making partner. We currently consider associates for partnership after eight to ten years of practice. There is no quota for how many associates make partner each year.
