Pros
I saw a negative and completely false review on this site and I wanted to reply. First, I want to make really clear that unlike what I have seen with other company reviews, this review is absolutely legitimate (and completely unsolicited) as are all the posting put up by my coworkers, as far as I know. As to why I am putting this posting up, well I will say that CLG is unlike any place I have ever worked. First, not only does management take a real interest in its staff but it actively looks to seek out its managers from within. To my surprise, I personally was promoted 6 months after joining and I know some of my coworkers have had the same experience. Maybe not 6 months, but I've seen 12 month promotions happen pretty often. What makes my experience here at CLG so different (and what also inspired me to write this review) is that the energy is contagious and managements strong desire to be the law firm of choice in our particular areas of practice makes it exciting to work here. You feel as though you will have ample opportunities to advance. I feel fortunate to be employed by a company that also is committed to giving back to the community. In December of 2016, this law firm coordinated and funded a HUGE (2000 Plus people) Christmas party for the community and their children. I personally worked the event and saw how much good they did for the community and our client base. I am unaware of any other law firm that does such things. Additionally, as if this is not enough, they have charity drives (food, clothing, healthcare, etc.) on at least a quarterly basis from what I have seen since I joined CLG over 2 years ago. These things make me proud to be part of the CLG team of attorneys. In addition to this, I have to say that our group is all very close professionally and at times personally. We truly like where we work and more importantly who we work with every day. I read something about "sales" in a posting here. Let me tell you about our "Sales" which management refers to as Case Managers. These hard working people make my job as an attorney so much better. They assist with chasing of all sorts, coordinating meetings, etc. They provide a significant amount of assistance to me, on many levels and that makes it easier to focus on the actual legal work! Keep up the great work CLG.
Cons
None to note. Yes we work hard, however, I anticipated actually working hard when I went to law school. unlike some other opportunities, my hard work has paid off and continues to pay off!
