Laterals
It is not unusual for an attorney to arrive here at Hangley Aronchick after starting his or her legal career someplace else. We are proud of our tradition of hiring highly qualified lateral applicants.
Whether you find yourself looking for a position at Hangley Aronchick because you are moving into private practice from the public sector, are re-locating to our area, or because you are just tired of the firm where you find yourself, we have a lot to offer.
Lots of Hangley Aronchick lawyers have spent time working in the public sector. Hangley Aronchick lawyers include former Philadelphia City Solicitors as well as former Assistant United States Attorneys. In addition, a majority of our lawyers clerked on district or circuit courts; one clerked on the United States Supreme Court. In addition, our lawyers have served the community. We have on our firm’s roster a past Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association, current and former law school professors, fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, American College of Bankruptcy Lawyers, and American College of Real Estate lawyers, members of the American Law Institute and American Bankruptcy Institute, and leaders of inns of court and the ABA Section of Litigation.
More of our attorneys than we are prepared to count are veterans of practice in larger law firms. Many of them got tired at the downside of life in larger firms: bureaucracy, lack of meaningful work experience, and lack of respect for life outside of work.
We think Hangley Aronchick offers a very attractive combination -- a sophisticated and wonderfully varied practice in a small firm culture. In publications ranging from Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business to The Best Lawyers In America to Philadelphia Magazine, our business litigation, bankruptcy and real estate lawyers are singled out as the best in the profession. Knowing the value of peer approval, we take pride in the fact that major law firms throughout the country regularly engage us when (as happens more and more frequently these days) they are named as defendants in high-risk, high-profile cases. We even represented the Pennsylvania Bar Association (in effect, the entire lawyer population of our state) when its judicial candidate evaluation process was attacked in the courts. 
To have the kind of practice we have, and to provide these sorts of opportunities, Hangley Aronchick has to attract the very best candidates. Take a look at our attorney profiles, and you’ll agree that we’ve been able to do that.
Hangley Aronchick welcomes unsolicited resumés submitted directly by candidates. We will respond promptly to any resumés submitted.
We’d be honored to entertain your application. Please call or send your resume to Dan Segal, Leslie Kramer or Jon Marans. Better yet, pick up the phone and call a couple of our associates. Ask them what they do, how they like it here and whether they think this might be the place for you.
