Careers
The experience of working at Miller Friel is all about its people.
The environment in which the Firm’s work is done is of the utmost importance. Many firms talk about an abstract notion of “culture.” The Firm’s attorneys and staff enjoy their work and appreciate their colleagues. They help each other succeed. This ethos comes from the top — the firm emphasizes cooperation, not competition. The Firm celebrates the successes of its attorneys and staff together. And since its founding, there has always been much to celebrate at Miller Friel.
Career Opportunities for Partners & Associates
Partners
All of Miller Friel’s partners came to the firm from top-tier law firms where they had significant policyholder side insurance coverage practices prior to joining the firm. Their stories are remarkably similar. Policyholder-side insurance coverage practices within their firms were curtailed due to conflicts and restrictive law firm policies. As a result, they faced unnecessary headwinds and limited prospects for growth.
At Miller Friel, our partners have retained their large law firm referral pipeline and have had the opportunity to grow their practices without restriction.
Our partners include some of the best and brightest lawyers in the field of insurance coverage law and our partner compensation model is roughly double the New York partner compensation model.
If you are looking for a collegial non-dysfunctional atmosphere to grow your practice along with other like-minded lawyers, please email millerm@millerfriel.com or call Mark Miller at 202-760-3161.
