Vault Verdict
Though Loeb & Loeb’s foundation was laid in the entertainment industry in California, it has expanded in both practice areas and in geography over the last 113 years. The hiring process focuses less on law school attended, grades, and journal experience, and more on hard workers with strong legal skills and prior work experience. Within the casual, collegial setting of the firm, employees care about and respect each other. Partners go the extra mile to collaborate with and treat associates as equals, and are invested in their skill development and overall well-being. Lateral hires appreciate the firm’s onboarding process, even though official training for all new attorneys is unimpressive. On the other hand, associate and partner mentors step up to provide excellent tutela...

Associate Reviews
- “Staff and lawyers are all very friendly and genuinely care about each other. It extends beyond happy hours to actual interest and care.”
- “The social atmosphere at the firm is very collegial and everyone is friendly and means well. This firm does not have a cutthroat culture, and lawyers respect one another and seem to care about each other both inside and outside the law. Associates have virtual social happy hours on a monthly basis; they’re appreciated and go over well within the associate group.”
- “Honestly, this is the best part of Loeb—casual atmosphere and great colleagues. Certainly people have management grumbles—show me a firm where they don't—but I love the people.”
Diversity at Loeb & Loeb LLP
Getting Hired Here
- “Firm values individuals from a strong educational background, but doesn't necessarily overvalue top law school as compared to personality and work ethic.”
- “Hiring is very practice-group and office dependent. Strong legal skills, especially writing skills and prior work experience, are probably the primary measures of someone's candidacy. Clerkships are also highly desirable.”
- “It's a bit of a chock-a-block process, and I really can't answer for other groups, just mine. I'd say we aren't overly concerned with law school attended, journal experience, or clerkships, but care most about prior work experience. We need people who can hit the ground running (really since Loeb doesn't have a very robust training system!), so having people who've already been exposed to the kind of work we do is very important.”
