Bryan Cave is an amazing law firm with an extremely collegial atmosphere built on mutual respect of our peers and cohesive teams of attorneys, paralegals, and support staff who diligently strive to exceed clients' expectations. Having started my career at a boutique IP firm with about 45 attorneys, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it has been to get to know people and work together in the Bryan Cave St. Louis office and to regularly work on projects that originate in several of our office locations around the world. We truly are One Firm.

While working at Bryan Cave, I have been involved in multiple intellectual property cases where the primary partner on the case works in the Bryan Cave office in Washington D.C., New York, Santa Monica, Shanghai, or elsewhere. With video-teleconferencing, e-mail, group calendars, regular conference calls, and face-to-face meetings, the geographic space between us virtually disappears. Plus, we have fabulous technical support who make it extremely easy to work from anywhere at anytime.

It is a pleasure to work with so many people who are intelligent, have a wealth of expertise, are sincere, modest, and extremely personable. I believe these attributes make Bryan Cave an enjoyable place to work and also improve overall productivity. When people enjoy what they do and who they work with, are empowered by their colleagues and respectful of their co-workers, that breeds enthusiasm and motivation to produce quality work product. It's a win-win!
