Joining Dovel & Luner
I went into law school knowing that I did not want to follow the traditional big law route. I wanted to use my legal degree to represent people and causes I cared about. In law school, I learned more about the impactful work plaintiff-side law firms do and that I wanted to be a litigator. I also knew that I wanted to get substantial experience and make meaningful contributions from the very beginning of my legal career.
After interviewing with Dovel & Luner, it was clear that I had found the opportunity I was looking for. The firm provides constant opportunities to develop as an attorney through the responsibilities assigned to associates and the mentorship and feedback provided from everyone at the firm. Every day at Dovel & Luner is a day where I can learn something new and contribute to the firm’s success.
