Careers
Attorneys.
Fennemore has everything you are looking for in a law firm. We have some of the most experienced, talented, creative and passionate lawyers in the country.
We are one of the West’s oldest and most well-respected firms (dating back over 139 years), but we aren’t stuck in our ways. We have high-profile corporate clients, but we aren’t stuffy. We have sophisticated legal work, but we aren’t afraid to give our younger lawyers meaningful experience. We take our professional careers seriously, but not ourselves. Our work environment and management style is best described as progressive, collegial, and collaborative.
Our newest program, Fennemore Forward, is an extension of this philosophy, allowing attorneys the freedom to work remotely while benefiting from the robust infrastructure of our brick and mortar offices.
