Responsibility Early

Miles & Stockbridge gives newer lawyers an opportunity to handle certain client matters on their own with supervision from a more senior lawyer.  This environment encourages every Miles & Stockbridge lawyer to assume responsibility for client service early in their careers.

Giving associates responsibility early distinguishes Miles & Stockbridge from other large firms. By the end of their first year, most litigation associates have taken and attended numerous depositions and have attended court hearings and client meetings. Similarly, during their first year, business associates can expect to draft financing documents and to participate in contract negotiations and business closings.
