McDermott Will and Emery
All of our employees are different and we embrace the diverse and thoughtful perspectives each brings, but there is something we all share—something we value above all else. It’s a drive for constant improvement embedded in our DNA. It pushes us to be better partners to our clients, better mentors to our associates, better collaborators with our business professionals and better change agents in our communities. We call it “Always Better,” and it’s the McDermott mantra and our north star.
Our clients see that drive in the way we help them pursue their boldest vision of tomorrow. They choose us because we are tireless in our pursuit of creative solutions to complex problems, and because we go beyond great ideas to give them the tools they need to make real progress toward their goals.
We deliver on that promise for our people too, providing best-in-class technology, extensive professional development, award-winning business development support, a transparent compensation structure and a balanced approach to success.
