Jenner & Block regularly recruits experienced attorneys to join our Firm and continue our healthy expansion.  We attract candidates who are looking for sophisticated work, top notch training and professional development and strong mentors.  Experienced attorney candidates also come to us because they know that one of our Firm’s core values is serving the community through unlimited pro bono opportunities and public service work.  Candidates are impressed with our diverse, collegial work environment and respect for team work, collaboration and strategic thinking.

In addition to the training and professional development opportunities the Firm offers to all attorneys, Jenner & Block supports lateral associates through a Lateral Associate Orientation Program.  The Program is designed to help ensure that you receive mentoring and access to resources during your first few months at the Firm so you can integrate quickly and enjoy successful careers at Jenner & Block.

Our lawyers have interesting and varied backgrounds.  Many have completed judicial clerkships or worked for the government.  Others come to us with experience as leaders in public interest organizations or as in-house counsel.  The Firm is well known for its landmark victories before the United States Supreme Court, including Witherspoon vs. Illinois, Wiggins v. Smith and Lawrence v. Texas.  To learn more about these historic cases, visit the Firm's Appellate and Supreme Court Practice website.

Jenner & Block’s historic and recognized variety of experience has enabled us to develop a diverse and stimulating environment in which to practice law.  We would like you to make your mark and become a part of our great tradition!

Lateral candidates typically interview with several partners and associates in the practice group of their choice.  If you are interested in applying to any of our offices, please click here to submit your materials online.
