When you join Lowenstein Sandler, you become part of a community of passionate individuals united by a common purpose. Our strategy is unconventional: we empower members of our community by fostering their entrepreneurial spirit and giving them tools to grow. If you are ready to apply your intellect, creativity, and diverse perspective to the creation of cutting-edge legal work, we are eager to hear from you.
Our success as a firm is directly linked to our ability to create a community that is diverse, inclusive and respectful of differing points of view. The foundation for our culture was laid by firm founder Alan Lowenstein, who was renowned for recruiting & welcoming colleagues of all backgrounds and experiences. From our roots as members of the Lawyers Commission for Civil Rights to serving as co-founders of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, inclusivity is a part of Lowenstein's DNA.
In 2009, Lowenstein Sandler expanded its historic commitment to public and community service by creating the Lowenstein Center for the Public Interest. The Center maximizes impact by focusing the firm’s pro bono efforts and deepening its partnerships with leading nonprofit and community organizations. Led by a career public interest lawyer, Catherine Weiss, the Center staff work to foster and support pro bono efforts in each of the firm’s offices.
I have been working at Lowenstein Sandler full-time (More than a year)
Pros
I've been working here for a little over 2 years in the New York office as a Senior Legal Secretary. I love this firm. Everyone has been really friendly, including management & attorneys. My supervisor, Sharon is the best! Sharon is really insightful and always willing to listen and give positive feedback and advice. In my opinion, this firm really cares about support staff and they do their best to accommodate you in any way that they can. An added addition, is that this firm cultivates diversity and inclusion, which is a really good principle to see.
Cons
I have do not have any cons.
