Setting a Higher Bar

What’s higher than our clients’ expectations? Only our determination to exceed them.

As a firm, we’ve never been content to rest on our laurels. We know that the complexity of our clients’ needs will only grow; that’s why we must continue to evolve.

For more than a century, we’ve had the privilege of training some of the finest lawyers in the country. We believe it’s our responsibility to provide our people with a multitude of opportunities for personal and professional growth. Those investments pay dividends for our clients, who realize the benefits in the form of excellent legal counsel and client service.

Higher Bar

Our aim is nothing less than to set the standard by which all other legal client experiences are judged. We’re not just focused on the future of our firm. We’re focused on the ultimate potential of what a law firm can be.

                    Investing in emerging technology
                
                        We provide a clearinghouse to investigate technology trends and tools and determine how best to apply them to the practice of law. Our proof-of-concept processes employ working attorneys, data scientists and other experts to evaluate the validity of emerging technologies. Clients benefit from our candid evaluations—and from the collaborations that result.

Training tomorrow's leaders

                        We provide comprehensive learning opportunities to help our lawyers hone their capabilities and stay current with changes in the law. These include New Partner Business Development Training, Associate Business Development Training, Alston & Bird University, and secondments with district attorneys' offices. Our training programs, mentorships and practice-specific skills ladders are tailored for individual growth—and designed to cultivate the next generation of Alston & Bird’s leadership.
