SHEPPARD MULLIN
10 Best Companies, continued ...Published: July 01, 2010
sheppardmullin.com
City where located: Costa Mesa (headquarters are in Los Angeles)
Number of employees: 101 in Orange County, 1,111 nationwide
What the company does: Law firm
Why we like them: Sheppard Mullin covers 100 percent of its employees’ medical, dental and vision premiums. With today’s rising health costs, that buys peace of mind.
Sheppard Mullin prides itself on having a collegial culture and a leadership style that is consensus-driven instead of autocratic. For example, all partner attorneys get the chance to meet and question candidates for partner before they are hired on.
The company invests in its employees’ training and education, and runs a program called Partnership College to help associates learn early on what is needed to make partner. Beyond the competitive salaries and health, medical and dental benefits that are fully paid by the company, Sheppard Mullin also offers a satisfying balance of work and family. Attorneys who have joined from other large firms have described it as a perfect balance between a law firm that operates strictly as a business and one that views the practice of law as a profession.
“The office is amazingly well run because of excellent management and teamwork, which translates into a positive, satisfying work environment,” says Jane Rockley, a legal secretary with Sheppard Mullin for 12 years. “If I could think of one word to sum up the office atmosphere, it would be ‘harmonious.’”
