Joining Our Team – Joining as a lateral
Whether you come to Orrick from another law firm, an in-house position, a clerkship or a public service role, you’ll find a team that values your experience and perspective.
We’ll help you connect with peers and mentors and ensure you are integrated into client teams where you can leverage your background. Support is available through our training and mentoring programs, retreats, shadowing, coaching and more.
A lot of us came from someplace else. We take great pride in the fact that we work as one team. You won’t feel like a newbie for long.
What We Look For
Orrick lawyers have demonstrated a commitment to being the best at what they do – and have unique experiences under their belts. In our conversation with you, here’s what we want to know:
- How have you shown initiative? What challenges have you overcome?
- In what type of culture do you thrive? What’s your approach to teamwork?
- What drives you to do excellent work? What do you value most about the opportunity to practice law?
