However, I recall the team being staffed by very capable and experienced junior and mid-level associates, talented senior associates, and intelligent and strategic partners.'

  • 'I work with several New-York based firms in my current role and generally find Bracewell's more junior associates better equipped to answer questions quickly and with confidence.’
