We handle complex legal challenges. Ropes & Gray
is premised on the proposition that those challenges are best met,
and our clients are best served, by bringing together leading practitioners
in many disciplines and enabling them to build on each other's strengths
through a culture of collaboration. Every aspect of our structure facilitates
and reinforces this core value. By way of example, in each aspect of
firm life — staffing our matters, structuring our client relationships,
or administering firm operations — we do our work as teams and
we reach our decisions by consensus. In the same vein, unlike many
firms, we do not compensate individual lawyers based on their revenue
streams from individual clients. Rather, all revenue from all clients
is shared, and compensation is based in part on experience, client-related
activity, and non-billable contributions to the firm. The culture of
collaboration that is Ropes & Gray's hallmark creates an especially
interdependent and respectful work environment, and an unusually sociable
one as well. Indeed, in Vault.com's annual surveys of the country's
most prestigious law firms, Ropes & Gray has regularly been ranked
one of the nation's "Top Twenty" best law firms at which to work.
