Experienced Lawyers

Considering a move from another firm, public service or a corporate environment? Looking for the perfect fit and a smooth transition? So are we. That’s why we work hard to sustain a culture where every team member can connect and thrive.

LATERAL PARTNERS

McDermott is one of the most popular destinations for elite lawyers, particularly those who’ve held key leadership positions in high-profile, well-respected firms. That’s because our partners share a passion for propelling clients’ success. This commitment, coupled with a recognition that challenging work and personal satisfaction matter, helps us foster a vibrant, collegial culture where excellence and happiness go hand-in-hand.

And because one of our core values is to stand by each other and support each other every day, you find the integration process smooth—and even enjoyable—for you and your clients.
