Every day, Seyfarth brings new ways of thinking to the practice of law. Our attorneys are constantly redefining client service, from executing complex transactions that increase market share to navigating the future-of-work issues that will shape how business is done. Seyfarth is dedicated to supporting our attorneys on their road to success, whatever direction that road may take.
We know that your career is a marathon and not a sprint and that your aspirations and personal circumstances will evolve over time. And our clients demand a broader set of skills beyond technical law expertise, including matter team management and innovative business-centric approaches. Seyfarth’s talent story weaves these needs together into a win-win talent model for both you and your clients. This progressive approach steps away from tradition and offers customized, individual career options. We are able to support those who seek the challenges and rewards of an ownership career path, as well as provide alternative career options for high-performing attorneys who want more flexibility.
If you join us, we have you covered through every stage of your career.
Seyfarth promotes excellence, growth, and a career path that meets your needs at all stages—including at its start. From day one, Seyfarth is committed to developing you as a whole person.
Ownership Track. If partnership is in your sights, our competency model provides a clear and well-lit path for every step along the way. The requirements are clear, and you can take on more than one at a time. This allows ambitious associates with a dedication to excellence and a commitment to hard work to rise at their own pace.
“Seyfarth made the path to partnership very clear and attainable and I was pleased to join the partnership ranks when I was ready.”

Professional Services Group. With our multiple opportunities for development, Seyfarth also offers high-performing attorneys the ability to choose different opportunities at different stages of life. We offer impactful roles to best serve our clients with a higher degree of flexibility. This unique approach enables us to staff cases and transactions with the right mix of professionals and add the most value while achieving our client’s goals. The roles of staff attorney, counsel, and senior counsel included in this talented attorney group receive many of the same training and development opportunities as our ownership track attorneys.
