Richards, Layton & Finger, the largest Delaware law firm, offers attorneys the unique opportunity to work on globally significant matters in a firm truly committed to developing associate talent. With a partner to associate ratio of nearly 1:1, our junior attorneys receive personal attention and significant, intellectually challenging experience from the start.
Our lawyers are known worldwide as authorities in corporate and business law, and we are consistently at the forefront of cutting-edge issues that have helped propel Delaware to its position as the jurisdiction of choice for corporations and alternative entities. And because we work from a single office in Wilmington, we have the independence and flexibility to respond swiftly to an evolving legal landscape.
Our location offers other key advantages as well. Our starting associate salary of $190,000 provides nearly twice as much buying power as the starting salary in New York City. In Wilmington you will enjoy the quality of life of working in a small, vital city, plus quick and easy access to Philadelphia, New York, Washington, DC, and miles of ocean beaches.
Our summer associate program, designed to introduce you to our work and the collegial nature of the firm, is not only our primary way of hiring new associates, but also our primary way of hiring our future partners.
