THE SECRETS TO OUR SUCCESS

Attracting and retaining the best young associates is a major challenge for law firms. In its annual Associate Survey, The American Lawyer gives firms across the country a clear report on how well they're doing both within their firm and compared to their peers.

In 2006, for the third year in a row, HSE was rated the nation’s #1 law firm for work environment, as determined by those who matter most - the associates at each firm. We believe this extraordinary distinction originates in our core values of mutual respect and genuine collaboration among all our professionals and staff in serving our clients’ needs.

In short, we strive to be a true team delivering superior legal services and attentive counsel to our clients. While most law firms publicly promote their collegiality, we live it. Our drive for success co-exists with a friendly and non-competitive atmosphere that makes the challenges of practicing law more enjoyable than taxing. While we are fiercely competitive externally, we are truly cooperative internally.

Each of our clients is a client of the firm, not of any particular attorney. We are passionate about advancing the goals and objectives of our clients, and consider it crucial that our lawyers consider every legal matter within the big picture of our clients’ interests.
