In the fall of 2003, Miller & Chevalier ranked # 1 among D.C. law firms in the American Lawyer Mid-Level Associate Survey. With excellent marks in all related areas, the firm’s most exemplary marks were in the areas of: Interesting Work; Associate Relations; Billable Hours; and Attitude Toward Pro Bono. Since the survey’s publication, the firm has continued to place a high emphasis on the development of its associates. In February 2004, the firm created a new staff position -- Manager of Lawyer Development -- dedicated solely to the training and mentoring of associates.
"Within a few months of beginning work as a first-year associate at Miller & Chevalier, I was given significant client contact. In several cases, although the Member with whom I was working was always available to step in with advice and aid, I answered client questions on my own and was responsible for the day-to-day management of the case. The firm offers a comfortable working environment for a young associate that allows you to be proactive about your career, but at the same time, offers you the support and guidance that all neophyte lawyers require." – Shane Hamilton, Member, Tax Department (J.D. 1997, University of Virginia School of Law)
"Miller & Chevalier has a commitment to 'quality of life' that is not present in most firms. As a result, it attracts the best and the brightest. I don't know how I got in, but I'm never leaving!" – James Tillen, Senior Associate, International Department (J.D. 1999, The George Washington University Law School)
"As a summer associate and a law clerk, Miller & Chevalier gave me the opportunity to meet and work with intelligent, creative attorneys who exhibit the highest standards of professionalism and excellence. In addition, I chose Miller & Chevalier because the work atmosphere and environment are conducive to the maturation and growth of a junior attorney." Kevin Mosley, Associate, Litigation/Government Contracts Department (J.D. 2003, Georgetown University Law Center)
