“From day one, everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming. Colleagues took the time to learn about my background, share what they do, and explore opportunities to collaborate. People were not only generous with introductions to their contacts but also enthusiastic about finding ways to work together. It’s clear that this is a place where people genuinely want you to succeed.”

"Not only did the integration program help me get up to speed on my practice group’s systems and clients, it helped me connect and integrate with the firm as a whole. From day one, it did not feel like I was starting a job, instead it has truly felt like I was being welcomed as part of the broader Lowenstein community."

"I was impressed with the amount of support and resources devoted to helping me quickly settle in at the firm. Not only did the BSG team play a key role in facilitating file transfers and engagement letters seamlessly, but several of my new partners reached out to offer assistance directly and make sure I was connected with the right folks internally.”

“I could not have asked for a more seamless onboarding process. From coordinating my initial interviews to transitioning over client files for a large number of active deals to interviewing and onboarding my associates/counsel, the team here at Lowenstein never missed a beat. They were organized, responsive, and anticipated everything I would need to move my practice. On top of all of that, every single person was a pleasure to work with and reinforced for me that I had made the absolute right decision in choosing Lowenstein as my new home.”
