Good place to work - Litigation Paralegal bei Caesar Rivise: Mitarbeiterbewertung

None. Firm has lost significant talent since May 2019, losing half of its attorneys. There is an obvious reason.

Caesar Rivise has and still is showing signs of instability. In April 2019, Caesar Rivise's management announced to its staff that it was having troubles with profitability and it had to change its compensation structure. Since then, the firm has bled talent, losing half of its attorneys and its paralegals. The firm now lists a total of 11 attorneys, according to its website. By comparison, the firm had 20 lawyers at the beginning of 2019 and a high of 27 in 2007. Since 2012, Caesar Rivise has struggled amidst issues of succession (look at which attorneys are remaining) and business development. More recently, Caesar Rivise received another uppercut when a March 11, 2020 status report was published in Bayer Intellectual Property GMBH et al v. Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. et al, 1:17-cv-00462 (D. Del.) (ECF No. 213), stating that one of its former clients "stopped responding to [the firm]." At this point, the firm is a shell of its once prestigious self. Given the instability and staleness of the firm, prospective employees would be wise to look elsewhere for a more secure, successful firm.

There are no pros to list.

Things seem to be spinning out of control for this firm under the guidance of current managing and sole shareholder David Tener in the wake of the recent departure of two partners, one of which was the firm's leading litigator and rainmaker over the past 10+ years. Surely, it's not good. One wondered whether the firm would be able to survive following the departure of half of the firm's staff after the announcement of poor profitability and financial concerns in 2019. These and other concerns followed in 2020. This included, among other things, a huge loss in a straightforward unfair competition matter primarily handled by the firm's senior attorneys for more than seven years. (See Newborn Bros. v. Albion Engineering Co., No. 12-2999, DNJ); and the precipitous August 28, 2020 entries of appearance by senior attorneys in several matters being handled solely by a junior partner. Poor micromanagement, succession issues (half of the firm is >70 yrs old), the paying off of former shareholders and other financial issues continue to plague the firm. There must be a toxic and uncertain clound surrounding this firm. It's the only conclusion that can be drawn after the significant departure of two well-regarded attorneys.
