Great working environment - Anonymous employee Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt Employee Review

Boutique law firm with a uniquely collaborative and collegial culture. Attorneys and staff alike are professional, polite, and genuinely supportive, which creates a welcoming environment. The firm’s flat structure gives you real agency: you can take ownership of projects early, work directly with partners, and see your ideas implemented.

Because the firm is entrepreneurial, there isn’t always a rigid structure or predefined career path. To thrive here, you need to be comfortable with ambiguity and able to create your own structure.

In Midtown, Manhattan.

Had to tell them I could not continue here, good luck. Atmosphere is toxic, from angry staff to abusive partners. Associates who work here are absolutely desperate (you can even tell just from the partner-associate ratio: top-heavy.) Two senior corporate partners in particular are the two most abusive I have encountered, and they can't be escaped at such a small firm. Pay is sub-par. Good work gets one nowhere; billing clients for endless hours is the game here. Clients are sketchy with, ahem, curious foreign interests represented. Total sweatshop; need an example? Sure: associate billable hours were -- literally -- displayed in gigantic font at company meetings for all lawyers to see. Hillbilly-like, incestuous atmosphere, as sad "old friends" and family members hunker down with nowhere else to turn.
