Who We Look For

In choosing a law firm, you want to select a company that shares your values and approach, one in which you can reach your full potential. In return, we want to work with people who share our traits, as we look to grow the firm from within:

1. Academic excellence and intellectual distinction

We look for academic excellence and intellectual distinction. Our cases are intricate and intellectually stimulating - requiring original thinking and the ability to analyze all complicated issues. We consider this the foundation for building great lawyers.

2. The ability to communicate and convey complex ideas

Law is about communicating - whether working with your clients and colleagues as a team, or convincing others of a particular way of looking at a case. Being able to communicate your ideas clearly in a professional and relaxed manner is an integral part of each person who joins Harper Grey. People who relate well to each other provide better results for our clients, and make the firm an enjoyable place to be.

3. Strong desire to learn and grow

You know that learning will be an ongoing process and want to join a firm that will support you with the right resources, educational training, and feedback. As law is a fluid, ever-changing profession, we in turn want to work with people who share this attitude and for whom law is a passion.

4. Self-starters

Are you a self-starter? Are you someone who sees a need and fills it; someone who looks for opportunities on their own with a high degree of independence? If this describes you, then you could be very content at Harper Grey. We share an entrepreneurial attitude - people who prefer to set their own plan of attack thrive at Harper Grey.

Michael Thomas, Associate, explains, "Articling at Harper Grey is not too structured and that's a strength, because it let me create my year myself. I went out and got the work that interested me."

5. Variety of interests

We firmly believe that having a variety of interests outside the practice of law helps to maintain focus in our profession. That's why we look for well-rounded individuals who have passions and activities outside of law. At Harper Grey, your character and interests all come into play.
