Placing value in the strongest assets – our people . . .

It’s a 16-hour day, and you’re eating lunch and dinner at your desk before spending another Saturday and Sunday in the office away from family and friends.

Stereotypes like this one are associated with working at a law firm for a simple reason: Because they’re usually true.

A lot of law firms are hesitant to discuss that difficult work-life balance because they have nothing positive to say.

Not at Burns White.

We’re eager to elaborate.

This is a team. Here, everyone’s important. Here, everyone contributes to the firm’s success. We look for ways to make everyone here as productive and efficient as possible, because we know that when we care about our employees, they take even greater pride in their work.

Our people are professionals – they are treated as such and given the latitude to conduct themselves accordingly.

Dance recital for your youngest daughter? Remember to take the camera.

Middle-school football game at 3:30 p.m.? Don’t forget a seat cushion for the bleachers.

Kindergarten holiday play? Make sure you tape it for us.

We know that these are the moments you can’t get back, so we encourage everyone here to enjoy them.

We know everyone here will do what it takes to get the job done and to make the necessary adjustments to their schedules to do so.

Burns White doesn’t just invest in its clients; it also invests in its people.

They are the ones who make working here rewarding.

They are the ones who make us successful and differentiate us from other law firms.
