Staff

Our employment and benefits packages are competitive by location and include: annual reviews, discretionary year-end bonuses, medical, dental, life and disability insurance, cafeteria, 401K and profit sharing plans, parking or transportation allowances, paid holidays, employee leave, and Employee-of-the-Year and Ten-Year Service Awards.

Susman Godfrey’s policy is to provide equal employment opportunity to all employees and job applicants. This means we consider all aspects of your employment, including recruitment, hiring, promotion, compensation, and professional development, on the basis of experience, talent, qualifications, job performance, and the Firm’s needs. We do not discriminate against anyone on the basis of ethnicity, color, religion, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other factor that violates governing federal, state, or municipal laws.

We offer ongoing training for all staff on an as-needed basis. For example, secretaries are trained to work with MS Word, iManage Worksite, PowerPoint, Excel and many more applications.

Susman Godfrey welcomes inquiries about employment opportunities for its accounting, administrative, paralegal, secretarial, support, and technology positions.

We have invested in the latest technology: the computer system was replaced in 2009 and 2010 and the telephone system was upgraded to VoIP in 2010. A Disaster Recovery system is in place and is routinely tested which provides for continuance of email, document management and litigation support. All of our offices are connected via a high speed Layer 2 network with redundant connections to the Internet.

Many employees have been with the Firm for ten years or more; some over twenty years. We search for the right applicants when the need arises but often promote from within the Firm or relocate staff.
