Moving to a new firm is a calculated risk. If you’re comparing Goodwin to other firms, consider this: we’re expanding our practice across an ever-broader global platform. We want you to feel comfortable here, so we’ve created some formal and informal programs to help make your transition to Goodwin as seamless as possible.
"I was a partner at another large firm before coming to Goodwin in 2005. Looking back on those first months at Goodwin, I think the process went so well because people here understand the strategic direction of the firm, and want to support growth."
Mark Bettencourt, Managing Partner
Our fully integrated team of lawyers provides a wealth of knowledge seamlessly across corporate, litigation and regulatory and advisory practice areas. This highly collaborative approach across geographies and industries enables clients to achieve unprecedented results.
It’s contagious when people around you love what they do. Goodwin’s professional development and training team is committed to helping you leverage your strengths, find your passion, and build the legal and professional skills and networks you will need to succeed wherever your career may take you. Our team’s dedicated group of experts includes directors and managers who are former practicing attorneys and are nationally recognized as leaders in their field. We are committed to ensuring that everyone at the firm is equipped and inspired to be best and brightest across all that we do.
Very often those who most need legal representation can least afford to pay for it. Whether it’s guidance on housing, immigration, criminal defense or small business development, free and reliable legal counsel can make real and lasting changes in people’s lives and livelihoods. That’s why pro bono work is one of the cornerstones of our firm. Our attorneys, summer associates and paralegals work on a wide range of pro bono matters. Last year, we dedicated more than 65,000 hours to over 650 matters.
Goodwin offers a complete benefits package designed to help you balance work and family life. Our Flexwork Program offers our attorneys that have personal commitments outside of work with the flexibility they need to seek non-traditional or reduced-time schedules.
If you have questions, we want to put you in touch with just the right person who can answer them. You'll not only get the information you need, you'll get to know someone at Goodwin who can help you along the way.
