Careers

Why Stoel Rives? The easy answer is our reputation for excellence and our long list of accomplishments. But there’s definitely more to it. We understand that deciding where you want to practice law and to develop professionally is highly personal. Rankings, awards and Fortune 500 clients address the what and the who of legal practice but not necessarily the why. Whether you have a passion for science, enjoy the challenge of oral argument, or seek the high stakes of complex merger negotiations, your next career choice should align with your personal values and career objectives.
