Although people often disparage the big firm experience, the truth is that the resources, depth and training help make you a better and better lawyer. The size of the cases, the complexity of the matters, continues to challenge me and help me grow as a lawyer even today.

Bryan Cave to me is the very best mix of collegiality and recognition of the demands of the modern legal business. This positions us very well to compete for lawyers and clients.

The firm has not only supported, it has encouraged my involvement in civic matters beginning early in my career. Our partners constantly identify opportunities and then support associates financially and with references and advice as to where and how to become involved in the profession and in the community.
