Legal Careers
Your Career at Goodwin
Beginning Your Career
You already know what makes a solid start to a great career – and we do too: work that challenges, enthusiasm, colleagues who make you think and laugh, a feeling of accomplishment and being valued, opportunities to lean and work with teams – and much more.
Making a Lateral Move
Changing firms can be a calculated risk. But if you’re considering a move to Goodwin, consider this: we’re expanding our practice across an ever-broader national and international platform. We want you to feel comfortable here and be able to hit the ground running, so we have formal and informal programs to make your transition to Goodwin seamless.
Working in London
Our London office has grown significantly over the past year. With over 75 lawyers working on complex and high profile matters you will find a well-rounded team in our London office to help you reach your full potential in your legal career.
JD/MBA
We appreciate the extra hard work involved in a dual graduate degree and are pleased to offer a signing bonus to first year JD/MBA associates who accept an offer with us. Whether you’re a JD/MBA, or still considering this option, we want you to know we think it’s a very smart business move. An MBA program allows you to work collaboratively in teams and learn in an environment with people who aren’t lawyers. You’ll graduate with a better understanding of the intricacies between business and law.
Judicial Clerks
As a judicial clerk, you have developed a unique perspective on the practice of law. At Goodwin we appreciate the skills and experience you bring to our firm. We offer a generous signing bonus for clerks who come to work with us – up to $50,000 for one-year federal judicial clerkships – and provide extensive training opportunities.
How We Work
I think our clients really appreciate the team approach we take - we all work together to achieve the best solution.
I'm pretty active in the Women's Initiative. It's a great way to feel like you're part of a community within the firm.
Working with different size companies and different types of clients is really exciting.
I became involved in real estate as a summer associate. I worked with a number of associates and partners and everyone lured me in.
