Erise has less overhead and fewer management channels than traditional firms. Every person at Erise is valued, and every person has a voice that matters in the firm. Associates aren’t walled off from shareholders and other senior attorneys. Your contributions and knowledge will be encouraged and utilized.
Our associates have significant autonomy over their work hours and working location. You will be trusted to find the best way to exceed client expectations without compromising family and other personal obligations.
Still have doubts about working here? Allow us to dispel some myths:
High-stakes litigation is only available at Big Law firms.
Absolutely not. Erise’s client list contains 14 percent of the World’s Most Valuable Brands tracked by Forbes, including the No. 1 brand globally. We’ve won matters for Sony, Garmin, H&R Block, T-Mobile, FanDuel, EA, Honeywell FM&T, and more.
In the Eastern District of Texas, Erise is undefeated at trial, with four consecutive defense verdicts. Overall, Erise has won six consecutive defense verdicts for its clients since 2018.
In January 2023, Law360 selected Erise as a 2022 “Practice Group of the Year” for intellectual property, one of only five law firms in the nation to be chosen for the honor.
I’ll have to start at a large law firm and work for three years to get the experience I need to do what I want.
Erise associates play a key role throughout our litigation matters. We won’t wait to give you meaningful work. You’ll also be supported as you learn on the job. Our team is easy to work with, and their doors are open for questions. You’ll also be part of the collaboration process: Ideas from everyone on the team, from the newest associate to analysts, to the shareholders, are treated similarly.
Work/life balance is not possible for lawyers who want to do high-stakes litigation.
Not at Erise. Our emphasis on work vs. family/personal responsibilities starts at the top. You won’t receive a memo about 2,400-hour billing requirements. Instead, you might see a shareholder coming in late because their partner is under the weather and they had to help with childcare. They want you to take care of your needs first too.
