Why Work Here
Our Firm
Orrick lawyers help clients see around corners. We focus on four sectors driving the global economy: Technology & Innovation, Energy & Infrastructure, Finance and Life Sciences & HealthTech – and helping our clients innovate. We go to trial in the toughest battles. We use AI-driven tech to deliver valuable insights. We aim to be part lawyer, part business counselor, part technologist. And we work in teams – because our clients’ thorniest, most complex problems demand creative, multidisciplinary solutions.
We each chose Orrick because we are excited about practicing law in this way – and we believe it’s what the future demands.
So how do you build your career to become this kind of lawyer? It takes a combination of five things:
- Gaining experience on the best work + the best clients
- Continuous learning + time to invest in your career
- Collaborating with supportive teams + inspiring teammates
- The best technology + opportunities to innovate
- Committed mentors + opportunities to connect
The Orrick associate experience delivers all of this, plus a meaningful opportunity to become our partner, to move in-house with one of our clients, or to take your career wherever you want to go.
As you think about the kind of lawyer you want to be in five or 10 years, we hope you’ll consider what being part of our team can offer you.
