Mayer Brown’s culture encourages lawyers to chart their own path. To advance, you have to put in the time and effort, and do excellent work. But you also need opportunities to share your opinion, take chances, step outside your comfort zone, make mistakes, ask for help and feel supported in your practice and your life.
