As a new lawyer at Faegre & Benson, you will build the skills you need to grow a sophisticated legal practice and develop rewarding client relationships. We will provide support and training to help you do so. We're proud of our track record of hiring associates who become successful partners with national reputations in their areas of specialty.

This doesn't happen by accident. We emphasize small working groups, where new lawyers work directly with experienced partners and leading clients. Within your first year, you can expect to appear in court or participate in closing deals. We encourage your growth with challenging work, intensive legal education programs, personalized mentoring, and candid, constructive feedback.

Our firm is committed to your success. We're a large, multinational firm, but our success has arisen from a culture that emphasizes personal service to our clients, collaborative team relationships, and one-on-one career development for our lawyers. We believe our culture is unique among firms our size.

We hire lawyers who are committed to excellence and believe in hard work and integrity in all aspects of their lives. We generally expect our associates to record at least 1,800 hours per year to billable matters, and those who commit much more are rewarded for their service.

But success isn't all about billable hours. We encourage all of our lawyers to participate in the firm's award-winning pro bono programs and to seek out leadership roles within the firm and in our communities. To help lawyers balance the many demands on their time, we offer family friendly benefits, including generous family leave programs and reduced-time practice options for child care.
