”Jon and Bill make it clear that they really care about the experience we as lawyers are having. They’re very supportive and always checking to make sure that the balance is right – if I want more work, they get it for me; if I want to slow down for some reason, they find a way to accommodate that too. I get all that flexibility and the broad experience that comes with working in a variety of companies and industries.”
