Alston & Bird is committed to hiring, training, mentoring, and retaining the finest lawyers in the country, as well as providing those individuals with opportunities for personal and professional growth. Lawyers in our firm have diverse backgrounds, espouse various political views, and are involved in a myriad of social, cultural, civic, and educational activities. We are united, however, by a mutual respect for each other’s talents, abilities and ambitions and by a common desire to provide our clients with the best and most effective legal representation available.

Alston & Bird visits more than 25 law schools around the country in an effort to identify individuals who have the intellect, talent and commitment to be successful at our firm. We are proud of Alston & Bird’s firm culture and personality.  For over a century we have attracted some of the sharpest legal minds from the top law schools in the country, and we continue to do so.  But it takes more than just academic excellence to thrive here.  Our culture is what makes our firm so special, so we seek out candidates who share our goals and values.  While we believe strongly that we are a great place to practice law, we are proud that others have recognized it, too, as evidenced by our ranking for twelve years in a row as one of FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.”
