We are always open to hearing from experienced laterals with a portable book of business who are interested in joining our exceptional firm. Lateral attorneys that have joined us over the past few years have come from different types of law firms including Big Law as well as small, local firms. Some brought a new practice group to the firm, while others joined an existing practice group.

Why choose Paley Rothman?

We are a business-oriented firm, committed to the growth and development of our attorneys, while balancing meaningful work with fair compensation. As a full-service firm, we offer our clients a holistic, high-quality approach to representation. Attorneys here have access to a number of lawyers who have established an impressive reputation in the legal community as thought leaders and innovators and who are quick to assist each other.

We offer our attorneys a positive work-life balance. We want you to work hard for your clients, but not to the detriment of your personal life. We encourage our attorneys to participate in leisure activities sponsored by our firm and enjoy our collegial office culture, because we believe doing so helps our attorneys perform better, and consequently deliver a better work product and better results for our clients. We also encourage community involvement in the organizations and causes that our attorneys care about.
