Associate/Attorney - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Fragomen: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Accounts are very poorly staffed and unable to handle the massive volume of casework. Clients are constantly deceived into believing that there is a "team" preparing each case. Sorry, but it is not true. Entry-level paralegals operate with very little oversight and few check-and-balances to ensure quality of work. There is absolutely no work-life balance. Turnover is extremely high and the work environment morale is awful - a large number of paralegals and attorneys only stay for a few months. Emphasis was on profitability rather than client service. Partners are surprisingly unaware of the substantive law.
