Accelerate your professional growth
with supportive leaders who invest in you
I've never heard “I'm too busy.” Universally, people always said, “Ok. How can I help?”
Every day, I feel a sense of achievement, and at the same time, I find a new challenge.
Every voice is heard, from the most junior associate to the most senior partner.
Be individually empowered and accountable
as part of a collaborative, diverse, and inclusive team
This is really a business where you learn by doing, and from the beginning, I was surrounded by a team of people who had such depth and experience.
Why would I want to go anywhere else? I know that I’m going to have the autonomy to do my job well from day one while still being really strongly supported.
There's an environment here where, if you take ownership and responsibility for your journey, you can get access to some of the best people, some of the best thinking, some of the best tools.
Act with confidence
but also humility
I learned very quickly that the very best at this were keenly aware everyday of their own limitations. It takes a lot of pressure off your shoulders when you realize that it’s not all on you.
Investing is about getting to know something really well, but also knowing there are things you don't know. It’s important to be confident but know our limitations, collaborate, and be open-minded.
We are good listeners to different points of view. We don't have a “This is our view, and that's it." Mentality. We really come in with a hypothesis that we test against facts.
Own your work and its outcomes
while driving positive impact in all we do
The impact you can have so early in your career, but all the way through, you get to be part of a pretty small team making pretty enormous decisions.
I think it’s a great element of our culture that folks feel empowered to drive and lead with outcomes that we all share together.
We don't limit ourselves as to what impact we can create.
Share in a culture of excellence
with a continuous improvement mindset
Just because you’ve been doing something in a certain way doesn’t mean it’s right. We are constantly looking to grow and improve.
There's an intellectual inquiry that is asking a series of questions that are deeper, and deeper, and deeper. It becomes a mindset. We go after it and really dig into looking at things from every angle.
I get challenged to do more, to be greater, and that's exciting. Very rarely do you get the opportunity to be pushed by someone who says, “Hey, you're doing amazing, but let's take it up a notch.”
We support our people and their development in meaningful ways
