Joining Dovel & Luner
Law schools sometimes feel engineered to push you towards huge firms. But, after speaking with friends at big law firms, it didn’t feel like the right fit for me. I wanted to work at a firm where I could meaningfully contribute from day one, and where training and growth were prioritized.
After a summer at Dovel & Luner, I knew I’d found the right fit. The firm prioritizes deliberate and consistent practice, and takes a thoughtful approach towards both written and oral advocacy. The attorneys value input from all team members and constantly identify creative and compelling answers to complex legal questions. Every day I spend at Dovel & Luner is a day I learn something new.
