My experience in the Firm was really good. They have a very healthy work-life balance for the Associates and Interns. You can come around 10:30 and leave around 6:00 (regardless of whether you are an Intern or an Associate), which is pretty good for a Associate who is looking to gain a good amount of experience and pursue an LLM alongside a job. The pay also seems decent but I would disagree with the numbers quoted before on this thread. A realistic figure is around 30k for a Associate in the Firm. The Firm also has a habit of underpaying its Employees. Its not that the Partners don't enough. They do! The Partners keep a major portion of the Profits. The Managing Partners seems sweet but I have heard some Clients calling her aggressive at times and difficult to work with. Nonetheless, ANB Legal truly creates a benchmark for how a law firm should create conducive environment for its employees. I'd suggest that if you are looking for some initial level of experience to begin with, try working here for a year or two and make the switch to something better.
