Pros

There are some supportive and kind attorneys here, along with some great LAs.

Cons

Unfortunately, HWG has a culture of carelessness when it comes to workplace boundaries and appropriate behavior. The firm has no training on sexual harassment and no staff point of contact for reporting concerns. HWG has left the incredibly important job of maintaining a safe work environment to its own attorneys, who are often unaware of the dynamics legal analysts can face or ill-equipped to deal with these sensitive issues. One staff member regularly encourages legal analysts to drink and socialize with him after hours, and concerns about this and other behavior go largely ignored.

Pros

I worked at Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis as a Legal Assistant for two years before beginning law school. It was an exceptional workplace in many ways--collegiality, work substance, and relationships chief among them. As a legal assistant I worked directly with partners on compelling cases, doing the type of work that is rare for an employee at such a junior level. I always felt comfortable and encouraged to ask questions and dig into strategy, and I truly believe that this work experience contributed in a significant way to my law school success. I now practice at a much larger firm elsewhere in the country, and I still draw on my experiences at HWG and maintain relationships with former colleagues. I cannot overstate what an incredible place this is to start a legal career.

Cons

I did not experience anything I would characterize as a con.
